Sec. 17-185. - Property using other than city water.

(a)

For property using water all or part of which is from a source of service other than city water, there shall be a sewer charge which shall be measured by the quantity of water from the source other than city water which is discharged into the sewage system from such property.

(b)

The owner of each such property shall install, without cost to the city, a meter to measure the quantity of water received from other than the city's water system and discharged into the sewage system. No meter shall be installed or used for such purpose without first obtaining the approval of the director of public works as to its type and location.

(c)

In case a meter fails to register or has been removed for repairs, testing or other purposes during the billing period, the bill shall be based and issued on the rate of water consumption as shown by the latest semiannual, quarterly or monthly meter reading, whichever shall apply.

(d)

If the meter has not been returned to service, the bill shall be based and issued on the average daily rate of water consumption for the previous three-year period.
