Sprinkling Credit

In order that domestic and residential users of sewage services shall not be penalized for sprinkling lawns during the months of June, July and August, the billing for sewage services for domestic and residential users for each of said months of June, July and August shall be based upon the average usage for the previous months of January, February and March.  In the event the average water usage for said previous months of January, February and March is greater than the water usage for each of said months of June, July and August, then the billing for sewage services shall be computed on the actual water used in the months for which the sewage service bill is being rendered.  Domestic and/or residential sewage services applicable to the sprinkling rate shall apply to each lot or parcel of real estate, building or improvement, which is occupied and used as a residence.  Said sprinkling rate shall not apply to any premises which are partially used for commercial or industrial purposes.  The owner shall have the privilege of separating the water service so that the residential portion of the premises is serviced through a separate meter and, in such case, the water usage as registered by the water meter serving such portion of the premises used for residential purposes only shall qualify for the sprinkling rate.
