(A) In order that the single-family domestic and residential users of sewage service shall not be penalized for sprinkling lawns during the summer months of May, June, July, and August, the billing for sewage service for residential or domestic users for said months shall be based on the water usage for the previous month of April.
(B) In the event the water usage for the previous month of April is greater than the water usage for the summer month, then the billing for sewage services shall be computed on the actual water used in the month for which the sewage service bill is being rendered.
(C) Domestic or residential sewage service, as applicable to the sprinkling rate, shall apply to each lot, parcel of real estate, or building which is occupied and used as a single-family residence. Said sprinkling rate shall not apply to any premises which are partially or wholly used for commercial or industrial purposes. In the event a portion of such premises shall be used for commercial or industrial purposes, the owner shall have the privilege of separating the water served through a separate meter purchased and maintained at the owner’s expense, and in such case, the water usage as registered by the water meter serving such portion of the premises used for residential purposes shall qualify for the sprinkling rate.
(D) No user shall be eligible for this special rate if the current bill is delinquent and such special rate shall be immediately discontinued if the utility bill becomes delinquent.
