(1) If the volume of water used by any person in his or her industrial or process operations is substantially the same as the volume secured from the town waterworks system, then the volume of water purchased shall be considered to be the volume of waste discharged.
(2) If, on the premises of any person discharging industrial waste into the sanitary sewerage system, a substantial portion of the water secured from the town waterworks system is not used for industrial purposes, or is not returned to the sanitary sewerage system, the quantity of industrial waste shall be determined as follows:
(a) By a meter (or meters) on the water supply line (or lines) to his or her industrial and/or process operations;
(b) By a meter (or meters) on the waste line (or waste lines) from his or her industrial and/or process operations; and
(c) If meters as required under divisions (A)(2)(a) and (A)(2)(b) above have not been installed, by an estimate made by the Public Utilities Director of the proportion of the water purchased which is used for industrial purposes and returned to the sanitary sewerage system.
(B) If any person discharging or proposing to discharge industrial waste into the sanitary sewerage system does not secure his or her entire water supply requirements from the town waterworks system such person shall install and maintain a meter (or meters) on the waste line (or waste lines) from his or her industrial and/or process operations, or shall install such additional meters on the private water supply as required to permit a determination of the total quantity discharged to the sewers from both sources under procedures comparable to divisions (A)(1) and (A)(2) above.
