treatment plant as established from time to time in the Bannockburn
Fee Schedule for the sewage discharged per month. Said fee shall be
calculated based on water meter readings for that quarter. Where such
readings are not available, or where the meter has not functioned
properly, said fee shall be calculated based on the water meter reading
of such customer for the same quarter of the preceding year, or on
a minimum charge as established from time to time in the Bannockburn
Fee Schedule, whichever of the two shall be the greater. In addition,
there shall be an administrative services charge as established from
time to time in the Bannockburn Fee Schedule upon each residential

quarter. Where such readings are not available, or where the meter
has not functioned properly, said fee shall be calculated based on
the water meter reading of such customer for the same quarter of the
preceding year, or on a minimum charge as established from time to
time in the Bannockburn Fee Schedule, whichever of the two shall be

customer for the preceding quarter, or on a minimum charge as established
from time to time in the Bannockburn Fee Schedule, whichever of the

of Bannockburn shall establish, and the user shall pay, an additional
user charge based upon the additional operating costs.
