The consumption established during any base period shall be used for the determination of monthly wastewater user charges until a new base consumption period occurs as provided herein.

The irrigation credit per 100 square feet if computed at the rate of 500 gallons of water per month for a six-month irrigation season extending from May through October, inclusive. The computed irrigation allowance shall be deducted from the monthly water volume for calculating the wastewater charge.
