C. A charge for water service shall be made
based upon the meter readings during the months of each bimonthly
period and computed at the rates hereinabove set out, whether master
metered or single metered.
D. Whenever for any cause, a water meter fails
to operate, or for some reason a meter cannot be read, a reasonable
estimate shall be made by the Director of Finance of the amount of
water supplied during such period and the user shall pay a rate based
on the estimated amount of water supplied.
E. Owners of multiple-unit complexes, either
residential, commercial or industrial, providing water to tenants
served by one (1) or more water meters will be billed bimonthly as
follows: Each master meter will be treated as a separate billing unit
and the water service charge will be computed as provided for above,
provided that at the customer's request a smaller meter may be used
as long as it is adequate for supply in place of a larger master meter
during facility start-up operations. Credit shall be given toward
the cost of a larger meter upon return of the smaller meter.
