   EDITOR’S NOTE: Former Section 925.06 was deleted by Ordinance 49-2019, passed May 20, 2019.
925.07 METHOD OF DETERMINING SEWER CHARGES.
   The following measures shall be used to determine the sewer charges provided by Section 925.05 upon premises served by the system.
   (a)    On premises having a water meter acceptable to the Director, the quantity of water used, as measured by such meter, shall determine the sewer charge thereon.
   (b)    On premises where the quantity of water used is not measured by a water meter or is measured by a water meter not acceptable to the Director, the owner shall at his expense install and maintain a water meter acceptable to the Director and the quantity of water used as measured by such meter shall determine the sewer charge thereon as provided herein.
   (c)    In the event it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Director, with respect to any pool which has been filled or refilled with water pursuant to Section 923.07,that such swimming pool is not connected to the sanitary sewer system and water draining from such a pool cannot enter the sanitary sewer system, then the quantity of water charged and paid for under such Section 923.07, shall be excluded from the total quantity of water used to determine the sewer charge thereon, anything to the contrary in this Code notwithstanding.
