system and the municipal sewer system as

fraction thereof for all quarterly water usage

charge shall be $13.00.
Alternate System of Billing Computation
If water consumption during the winter billing
quarter does not accurately approximate actual
sewer usage throughout the entire billing
year, the quarterly sewer charge shall be
based upon water consumption during such other
billing quarter as most accurately reflects
actual sewer usage during the entire billing
year. If water consumption during any
particular billing quarter does not accurately
approximate actual sewer usage, the quarterly
sewer charge shall be based upon average
quarterly water consumption during the entire
billing year, or such other method as in the
opinion of the City Engineer which most
closely approximates actual sewer usage.
B. Structures Connected to Sewer But Not to Water

A quarterly charge is hereby imposed on
each commercial structure and each
industrial structure, which is connected
to the municipal sewer system but not to
the municipal water system, at rates set
forth in Section A, above, and on the

land used actually connected to the
municipal sewer and water systems.
