925.05 METERING MEASUREMENT AND BILLING PROCEDURES.
   (a)   For lots, parcels of land, buildings or premises using water exclusively supplied by the Municipality, such sewerage service charge rental shall be based upon the quantity of water used thereon or therein, as measured by the Municipal water meters installed or approved by the Director and shall be at the rate as provided in Section 925.03 and 925.04 for each 1,000 gallons.
   (b)   For lots, parcels of land, buildings or premises using water supplied either in whole or in part from sources other than the waterworks system of the Municipality the Service Director may require the owner or other interested party to install water meters or other meters satisfactory to the Service Director to the extent necessary to measure all such supplies of water and the quantity of water consumed on such lots, parcels of land, buildings or premises shall be deemed to be the aggregate amount disclosed by such meters; provided that, if the Service Director finds it is not practical to measure by meter any water supplied from sources other than the waterworks system of the Municipality, he shall measure the same in such manner and by such method as he may find practicable in the light of the conditions and attending circumstances of the case; provided further that such methods are in accordance with accepted engineering practices. The amount which would be payable at current Municipality water rates, for the aggregate amount of water consumed and measured as provided in this subsection (b) shall then constitute the base for application of the sewerage service charge or rental provided in subsection (a) hereof.
 
   (c)   In the event it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Service Director with respect to any lots, parcels of land, building or premises, that a portion of the water, from any source, consumed on the premises does not and cannot enter the system, then in each such case the owner or other interested party may at his expense install and maintain separate metering devices which shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Service Director that portion of the water so consumed on the lots, parcels of land, buildings or premises which is discharged into the system, and such portion shall then constitute the base for application of the sewerage service charge or rental provided in subsection (a) hereof for these lots, parcels of land, buildings or premises.
 
   (d)   The sewerage service charge or rental established herein shall be payable at the office of the Water Department, and shall be billed at the same time, either quarterly or monthly, as may be applicable, and for the same period as water charges are billed. The rate or charge for such sewerage service shall be rendered with and placed upon the bill or statement submitted for the use of the water service of the Municipality, or at the same time that water bills are rendered, in the event that the subsection (b) of this section applies.
 
   (e)   No fee service or discounts of any kind shall be rendered by the system to the Municipality or any department thereof, to any corporation, public or private, to any school, public or private, to any institutions, charitable or otherwise, or to any other users. If any of the persons in this subsection (e) so enumerated avail themselves of the service of the system for general purposes or for any other purpose, the rates herein established, which are declared to be as to such person, reasonable rates, shall be charged against such person and shall be paid at the time and in the manner herein otherwise provided for the payment of such rates.
 
   (f)   Except as otherwise provided in any ordinance authorizing an indenture securing revenue bonds issued for construction of the system or any portion thereof, no lot, parcel of land, building now or hereafter used for Municipal purposes shall be subject to the sewer charges hereby established, nor shall any water supplied by the Municipal Waterworks system for extinguishing fires, cleaning fire apparatus or furnishing or supplying water to fire hydrants or flushing streets be used to determine any sewer charge provided in Section 925.03 hereof.
 
   (g)   Sewerage service charges levied at the rates established by this section shall take effect on October 25, 1984, and shall thereafter be billed in accordance with procedures established by the Service Director.
 
   (h)   In case of failure to pay any bill for sewer charges when due, a penalty of ten percent (10%) of such charges shall be added to such bill.
