(A) In the event a lot, parcel of real estate, building, dwelling unit, or business unit discharging sanitary sewage industrial wastes, water, or other liquids into the city’s sanitary sewerage system, either directly or indirectly, uses water in excess of the quantity allowed for the applicable minimum charge per month, and it can be shown to the satisfaction of the city that a portion of the water as measured by the water meter does not and cannot enter the sanitary sewerage system, then the city may determine in the manner and by the method deemed practicable the percentage of metered water entering the sanitary sewerage system. This percentage, when determined, shall then constitute the basis of sewage service charges.
(B) However, the city in its discretion may require or permit the installation of additional meters at the expense of the owner or other interested party in such a manner as to determine the quantity of water actually entering the sewerage system, in which case the quantity of water used to determine the sewage service charge shall be the quantity of water actually entering the sanitary sewerage system as so determined.
