(2) The separate charges for each dwelling or premises served through a single service line and meter shall then be added together, and the sum thereof shall be billed to the name of record at the city’s Water Works.
(C) Readings from different meters will not be combined into one account for billing, even if the meters are for the same premises, or for the same consumer, or for the same type of service.
(D) Subject to § 18-115 of this chapter, a charge shall be made for all water passing through the customer’s meter.
(E) Bills for water and sewer service shall be calculated in accordance with the rate schedule in effect at the time of billing.
