(A) Sewer service charges shall be computed, billed, and paid on a bi-monthly basis, and shall be billed and paid at the same time as bi-monthly charges for water service.
(B) The amount to be charged shall be calculated as follows.
(1) Except as provided in division (B)(2) below, the charge to each residential user for a bi-monthly period shall be based on the quantity of water consumed by the residential user during the two consecutive month period ending in January or February (whichever month is the second month of the user’s bi-monthly billing period). Once the charge for the quantity for this time period is computed, the charge shall be payable for a period of one year beginning with the bi-monthly period which begins in the following May or June, depending on the user’s month of billing.
(2) Commercial, industrial, and wholesale users may be billed on a monthly or bi- monthly basis, at the city’s option. The charge to each commercial, industrial, and wholesale user shall be based on the amount of water consumed on the premises during the period for which the sewer service charge is payable.
(3) If the charge for water service for the appropriate period does not exceed the minimum charge for water service, then the sewer service charge for the appropriate billing period(s) shall be the minimum sewer service charge as provided for in this chapter.
