(A) In order that the single-family domestic and residential users of sewage service shall not be penalized for sprinkling lawns during July and August, the billing for sewage service for residences and/or domestic users for those months shall be based upon the water usage for the previous months of September, October and November.
(B) In the event the water usage for September, October and November is greater than the water usage for July and August, the billing charge for sewage services shall be computed on the actual water used in the month for which the sewage service bill is being rendered.
(C) Domestic and/or residential sewage services as applicable to the sprinkling rate shall apply to each lot, parcel of real estate or building which is occupied and used as a single family residence.
(D) The sprinkling rate shall not apply to any premises which are partially or wholly used for commercial or industrial purposes. In the event a portion of the premises shall be used for commercial or industrial purposes, the owner shall have the privilege of separating the water service so the residential portion of the premises is served through a separate meter and in such case the water usage registered by the water meter serving the portion of the premises used for residential purposes would qualify under the sprinkling rate. The preceding notwithstanding, if the water usage during September through November does not reflect sewage usage during July and August as determined in the sole discretion of the Town Council, the Council may either:
(1) Fix a billing for July and August which the Council shall deem reasonable; or
(2) Impose billing based upon the actual water used in July and August, all in the sole discretion of the Council.
(E) The Council, in its sole discretion, may make allowance for water usage which does not result in use of the sewerage system, other than the above allowance for sprinkling.
