(A) The rates shall be established by the Council at any regular meeting upon proper presentation of an ordinance setting forth the rate. The rate shall become effective after passage and publication of the ordinance.
(B) For irrigation purposes of lawns and gardens, residential customers that receive a utility bill for use of the sanitary sewer may apply to the Finance Officer in charge of utility billing for a reduction in their summer sanitary sewer rate. The reduction in rates will be given for water used by the resident in the months of May, June, July, August and September. Such rate will be based on the residential customer’s average water used for the months of January, February and March. The residential customer’s billing statement for July, August, September, October and November will reflect this reduced rate. Residential customers must apply for this reduction to the Finance Officer by June 1 to receive the full five-month reduction. Once a residential customer has signed up and qualified for the reduced rate, the qualification will remain in place and will continue to be applied so long as the utility account remains in the same name under which it qualified.
