(A) (1) For domestic wastewater users on the municipal water and sewerage systems, the volume of water purchased shall be considered to be the volume of wastewater discharged.
(2) In the event a user is connected to the town sewerage system but is not connected to the town water system, a mutually acceptable alternate means for determining volume must be negotiated between the town and the user.
(B) The volume or quantity of industrial waste discharged by any person into the sanitary sewerage system shall be measured by one or more of the following methods:
(1) If the volume of water used by any person in his or her industrial or process operations is substantially the same as the volume secured from the municipal waterworks system, then the volume of water purchased shall be considered to be the volume of waste discharged.
(2) If, on the premises of any person discharging industrial waste into the sanitary sewerage system, a substantial portion of the water secured from the municipal waterworks system is not used for industrial purposes, or if not returned to the sanitary sewerage system, the quantity of industrial waste shall be determined as follows:
(a) By a meter (or meters) on the water supply line (or lines) to the industrial and/or process operations;
(b) By a meter (or meters) on the waste line (or waste lines) from the industrial and/or process operations; or
(c) If meters as required under divisions (2)(a) and (b) above have not been installed, by an estimate, made by the Manager, of the proportion of the water purchased which is used for industrial purposes and returned to the sanitary sewerage system.
(3) If any person now discharging or proposing to discharge industrial wastes into the sanitary sewerage system does not secure his or her entire water supply requirements from the municipal water works system, the person shall install and maintain a meter (or meters) on the waste line (or waste lines) from his or her industrial and/or process operations, or shall install the additional meters on the private water supply as required to permit determination of the total quantity discharged to the sewers from both sources under procedures comparable to divisions (B)(1) and (2) above.
