(A) The sewer use charges pursuant to this chapter shall be applied separately to each individual water meter which measures water contributing to or discharging into the city sewerage system and shall be determined by the water meter readings for water furnished by the water works system of the city or by privately owned water supply which may contribute to or discharge into the sewerage system. In the case of unmetered water supply, the quantity of water used and discharged into the sewerage system shall be determined to the satisfaction of the City Manager at the expense of the owner of the unmetered water supply. If the quantity of unmetered water discharged into the sewerage system is estimated by the City Manager to be in excess of the amount permitted to be used under the minimum charge as applied to the user, the City Manager may require that the water supply be metered at the expense of the owner or user thereof.
(B) Should any meter get out of order or repair and fail to register properly, the user using the meter will be charged at the average quarterly consumption as shown by the meter when in order for six months previous, or fraction thereof if the same has not been used that long.
