The volume of sewage measured for payment for each account shall be as follows:
(a) When the user is also supplied with water from the water system, the quantity of water measured for payment shall also be the quantity of sewage measured for payment.
(b) When the user is also supplied with water from the City water system and it can be shown, to the satisfaction of the Water/Wastewater Superintendent, that a portion of the water as measured by the water meter does not and cannot enter the sanitary sewerage system, then the Superintendent may determine in such manner and by such method as he may find practicable, the percentage of metered water entering the sewerage system, or the Superintendent may require or permit the installation of additional meters in such a manner as to determine the quantity of water actually entering the sanitary sewerage system. The costs of additional meters shall not be construed to include normal residential activities, including, but not limited to, car washing or lawn watering.
(c) When the user is supplied with water, in part or in total, from a source other than the City water system, the Water/Wastewater Superintendent shall require the installation of a meter or meters to measure the supply of water from all sources or to measure the volume of sewage entering the sewerage system. The meters shall be approved by the Director of Administration and be furnished, installed and maintained at the cost of the user.
(d) All sewage entering the sewerage system shall be measured for payment. All meters shall be furnished and installed at the cost of the user. All defective meters shall be replaced at the cost of the user.
(e) The Water/Wastewater Superintendent may require, from the user, that the City be furnished, upon request, with information and data on all sources of water within the confines of the premises which may enter the sewerage system.
