(A) (1) The water consumption during the previous year, as determined from the meter records of the Water Department, shall be the valid basis for computing the wastewater flow, unless actual wastewater flow measurement by a recording meter of an approved type is required by either the approving authority or industry.
(2) The owner shall install and maintain such device in proper condition to accurately measure such flow.
(3) Upon failure to do so, the water consumption shall be the basis for determining the applicability of this subchapter and computing the industrial service charge.
(B) When water is contained in a product or is evaporated or is discharged in an uncontaminated condition to surface drainage, an application may be made for a reduction in the volume of waste discharge to the public sewer, provided supporting data satisfactory to the approving authority is furnished. This data shall include a flow diagram, destination of water supply and/or waste supported by sub-metering data obtained on the process piping at the expense of the private owner.
