2. By a meter (or meters) on the waste line (or waste lines) from the industrial and/or process operations.
(b) If meters as required under divisions (B)(1)(a)1. and (B)(1)(a)2. above have not been installed, by an estimate, made by the Mayor, of the proportion of the water purchased which is used for industrial purposes and returned to the sanitary sewerage system.
