(A) If a customer is charged for sewer service and uses water from the county water distribution system which is not discharged into the county sewer system for an industrial or commercial purpose, the quantity of water so used, and not discharged into the sewer system, shall be excluded from the calculation of the sewer service charge; provided, however, the quantity of water so used and not discharged into the county sewer system is measured by a device which is approved by the water and sewage department and is installed and maintained at the owner’s expense; and, provided further, the water supply of the property is metered and the owner pays for the water at the current metered rate.
(B) The sewer customer will pay a user charge based on water consumption. The charge is computed according to the water and sewer rate methodology documents using the quantity of water actually discharged into the county sewer system. If, in the opinion of the department, it is not practical to install a measuring device to determine the quantity of water discharged into the sewer system, the water and sewage department may calculate the percentage of metered water discharged into the sewer system. The quantity of water used to determine the sewer service charge shall be the percentage so calculated of the quantity measured by the water meters.
(C) Any dispute as to calculation shall be submitted to the county manager after notice of the estimate is received. The county manager’s decision on the matter shall be final.
