(a) In the event a lot, parcel of land, building or premises discharges sewage, industrial waste, water or other liquids, either directly or indirectly into the Village sewerage system, or which ultimately enters the sewerage system, is supplied either in whole or in part with water from wells or any source other than the Village Water Department, then such wells or other source of supply shall be registered with the Utilities Board, on or before April 1, 1969, and if the water from such wells or other source of supply is not measured by a water meter acceptable to the Board, then in such case, the owner or other interested party, at his own expense, shall install and maintain water meters satisfactory to the Board on all supplies, and the quantity of water used to determine the sewerage service charge shall be the quantity as measured by the single meter or the sum of the quantities measured by the several meters.
(b) Where it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Utilities Board that a portion of the water as measured by the water meter or meters does not enter the sewerage system, then the Board may require or shall permit the installation of additional meters at the owner’s or other interested party’s expense in such manner as to measure the quantity of water actually entering the sewerage system from the premises of such owner or other interested party, and the quantity of water used to determine the sewerage system charge shall be the quantity of water actually entering the sewerage system so determined.
(c) If, under this section, the Utilities Board finds that it is not practicable to measure such waste by meters, it shall determine the waste in any manner or method as it may find practicable, in order to arrive at the percentage of metered water entering the sewerage system and the quantity of water used to determine the sewerage service charge shall be that percentage.
