The following sewer usage rates are hereby established:
A. Structures Connected to Both Sewer and Water.
A quarterly charge, based on winter quarter
municipal water usage, is hereby imposed on each
single family dwelling, each commerical structure
and each industrial structure, which is connected
to both the municipal water system and the
municipal sewer system as follows:

fraction thereof for all quarterly water usage
provided, however, that the minimum quarterly
charge shall be $12.00.
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.
