[Amended 5-29-1991 by Ord. No. 519]
A. 
Beginning effective July 1, 1991, the sewer rent for collection and treatment of all sewage discharged into the sewer system by all dwellings, business buildings, institutions, commercial and industrial establishments and public users receiving water from the Manheim Water Plant shall be a quarterly charge based on the water consumption for the prior three-month period and shall be computed in accordance with the following rate schedule:
Quarterly Sewer Rent
0 to 8,000 gallons
$60 minimum
All usage in excess of 8,000 gallons per quarter
$7.50 per 1,000 gallons
B. 
In the case of a combination of two or more dwelling units, households, flats, apartments or two or more families using separate cooking and bathroom facilities in one dwelling having the use of the sewer system through one sewer lateral, each and every such occupied dwelling unit, household, flat, apartment or such family shall be charged the foregoing minimum quarterly sewer rents or charges the same as if each such unit or family had a direct and separate connection to the sewer system. Sewer rents or charges in excess of such minimum shall be determined by dividing the total water consumed, as shown by the meter readings, by the number of occupied units or families using such single sewer connection and applying the above rate schedule to the quantity so determined.
C. 
In cases where a combination of one or more dwelling units, households, flats, apartments with stores, shops, offices or business or industrial units have the use of the sewer system through one sewer lateral, each and every occupied dwelling unit, household, flat, apartment, store, shop, office or business or industrial unit shall be charged the foregoing minimum sewer rents or charges the same as if each such unit had a direct and separate connection to the sewer system. Sewer rents or charges in excess of such minimum shall be determined by dividing the total water consumed, as shown by the meter readings, by the number of occupied units.
D. 
In cases where dwellings using the sewer system have sources of water supply other than or in combination with water supplied by the Manheim Water Department, all or a part of which is discharged into the sewerage system, the person discharging said waste may install and maintain at his expense water meters of a type approved by the Borough Council for the purpose of determining the proper volume of flow, or a flat charge of $55 will be made for each separate dwelling unit, household, flat, apartment or family.
E. 
In the event that any sewer user discharging water into the sewer system produces evidence satisfactory to the Borough Council that more than 10% of the total annual volume of water used for the purpose does not reach the sewage works, then the determination of the total water consumption to be used in determining the waste discharged into the said sewer may be agreed upon between the Borough and the person or by metering by methods satisfactory to Borough Council.
