§ 28-79. Exemptions from wastewater commodity charges.

Where water used for lawn sprinkling, gardening or commercial-industrial purposes does not enter the sanitary sewer system, relief from payment of the wastewater commodity charge on the presently metered total water consumption is provided as follows:

(1)

A customer may have installed by the department, as stipulated in section 28-141 and approved by the sustainable development department, a separate metered connection with the water mains to measure the water so used.

(2)

A customer may apply for a meter, as stipulated in section 28-141 to have the meter installed at his expense and with the approval of the sustainable development department, to measure the water which does not enter the sewer system. The sewerage service charge will be billed on the difference in consumption between the two (2) meters; provided, however, that the credit to be given shall not reduce the total wastewater charge to an amount less than the fixed monthly charge.
