§ 62-184. Schedule of rates.

(a)

Every person whose premises are served by the wastewater utility shall be charged for the service provided. Notwithstanding the provisions of [section] 62-181, the sewage rates and charges shall be based on the quantity of water used on or in the property or premises subject to such rates and charges as the same is measured by the water meter there in use plus a customer charge, and plus a base charge based on the size of water meter installed as adjusted by the meter equivalency factor, except as herein otherwise provided. For the purpose of billing and collecting the charges for sewage service, the water meters shall be read monthly and the users shall be billed each month (or period equaling a month). If for any reason the monthly meter reading is not available, a bill will be prepared, based on the estimated usage, and a correction will be made when meter readings are available. The water usage schedule on which the amount of said rates and charges shall be determined is as follows:
