Accounts between water consumers and the City shall be kept by the City Manager under such bookkeeping system as is provided by the Mayor and Council. A consumer's ledger shall be kept and kept current with a separate account for each consumer on a separate sheet in the ledger. All water meters shall be read monthly by an agent of the City and a uniform system shall be established by the City Manager so that the same consumers are billed for approximately the same period each month or period of approximately one month. The City Manager may, for such purposes, divide consumers into routes for purposes of meter reading and billing. Billings shall be made monthly and at approximately the same time for the consumers on each meter reading and billing route. Routes may be added or eliminated or changed by the City Manager as circumstances require.
