Before any service is offered to any subscriber the operator shall file with the Mayor, for approval of Council, a schedule of proposed rates.
(a) A filing for the first service to be offered by the operator shall be no less than ninety days in advance of the approximate date the system is to become operational.
(b) A filing for new or additional service, after the system is once operational, shall be made no less than sixty days in advance of the effective date specified by the operator for the new or additional service.
(c) A filing for changes in previously approved schedules shall be made no less than sixty days in advance of the effective date requested by the operator. The new rate schedules shall be filed simultaneously with the Mayor and with the Clerk of Council and, if approved, they shall automatically become effective sixty days after the date of filing, unless Council passes a resolution setting the date for a public hearing on the new rate schedule.
