(A) Metering water supply in lieu of flat charge. A meter recording the use of water may be installed on any non-residential lot, parcel, premises, or other unit currently paying a flat charge, and the rate shall be based upon the use of water. The Council may, by resolution, require and order the installation of a meter on any such lot, parcel, premises, or unit or class thereof where it shall determine that the aforementioned flat charges are impractical to apply, or result in inequitable charges because insufficient or excessive; and thereafter the rate shall be based upon the use of water.
