(A) In order that domestic and residential users of sewage services shall not be penalized for the sprinkling of lawns during the months of June, July and August, the billing for sewage services for residences and/or domestic users for the months of June, July and August shall be based on the water usage for the previous months of December, January and February.
(B) In the event the water usage for the previous months of December, January and February is greater than the water usage for the months of June, July and August, then the billing for sewage service shall be computed on the actual water used in the month for which the sewage service bill is being rendered.
(C) Domestic and/or residential sewage service, as applicable to the sprinkling rate, shall apply to each lot, parcel or real estate or building which is occupied and used as a residence.
(D) The sprinkling rate shall not apply to any premises which are partially or wholly used for industrial or commercial purposes. In the event a portion of the premises shall be used for commercial or industrial purposes, the owner shall have the privilege of separating the water service so that the residential portion of the premises is served through a separate meter, and in that case, the water usage as registered by the water meter servicing the portion of the premises used for residential purposes would qualify under the sprinkling rate.
