Meters will be read and customers billed on the basis of the meter reading to the nearest gallon. The Water Department will keep an accurate account on its books of all meter readings. Such account so kept shall be offered at all times, places, and courts as prima facie evidence of the use of water service by the customer. In the event that it shall be impossible or impractical to read a meter on the regular reading date, the water consumption shall be pro-rated on the basis of 30 days per month and the total water consumption for billing purposes for that period shall be estimated.
