(A) A minimum debt service charge of $17.00 per month shall be applied to all single metered users. The minimum charge shall allow the use of 165 cubic feet per month, as measured by the water meter.
(B) A debt service rate charge of $4.50 per 100 cubic feet in excess of the first 165 cubic feet per month shall be applied to all single metered users of the sewer service. The meter reading shall be to the nearest cubic foot of water used.
(C) A minimum debt service charge of $17.00 shall be applied to each unit in a multiple unit user which is served through a single meter. By way of example, the calculation for the minimum charge for a four-unit apartment building is as follows: $17.00/unit x 4 units = $68.00.
(D) (1) A debt service rate charge of $4.50 per 100 cubic feet shall be applied to all usage in excess of 165 cubic feet per unit in a multiple unit user per month. The meter reading shall be to the nearest cubic foot of water used. The usage in excess of 165 cubic feet per unit is calculated as follows for a four-unit apartment building:
[Usage in cubic feet - (165 cubic feet/unit x 4 units)] x $4.50/100 cubic feet
(2) If the month’s usage is less than the 165 cubic feet per unit then only the minimum debt service charge shall apply.
(E) For a definition of “multiple unit user,” see § 52.090.
(F) The multiple unit user status shall only be permitted for existing circumstances and nothing herein shall be construed to permit future multiple unit user situations.
