Bills for sewer use permits shall be subject to a prompt
payment discount of 15% of the gross bill if paid on or before
fifteen days after the date on which such bills are mailed. If
not paid on or before such date, no discount shall be allowed.
Provided, that where water is used for irrigation the rate to

shall be computed on each house connection in the same manner as
it is computed for flat rate customers.
Provided further the following types of connections shall be
billed as indicated;
1. Fire Connections. Owners of metered and unmetered water
service connections used exclusively for fire protection purposes
shall pay the minimum charge of $6.00 per year.
2. Dual or Combined Fire and Manufacture Use Connections.
After the first billing, owners of such connections will be billed
on the basis of the actual metered water usage for the previous
billing period, using the equivalent size of meter as given in the
table at the end of this section. Provided, however, for the
first billing period said bills may be estimated on the basis of
the water consumption during the preceding year.
3. Swimming Pools. Owners of outside pools shall be billed
following the close of the swimming season in accordance with the
metered water consumption for a meter of equivalent size in
accordance with the table at the end of this section. Owners of
inside swimming pools shall be billed at the conclusion of each
billing period in accordance with the metered consumption during
the period, using the equivalent meter size as given in the table
at the end of this section. In no case shall the owner be billed
for a meter larger than the one in use. Provided, however, during
the first billing period the bills may be estimated on the basis
of water consumption during the preceding year.
4. Sprinkling Connections. Owners of metered and unmetered
water service connections used only for sprinkling, watering of
golf courses, general nursery use for watering plants and shrubs,
shall pay the minimum charge of $6.00 per year per water service
connection.
5. Over-Sized Meters and Stand-by or Emergency Connections.
Owners of connections requiring an over-sized meter or stand-by

receipt of such certification, the District shall determine the
water consumption for each billing period at the conclusion of
such period and shall bill the owner an amount based on the
equivalent meter size as given in the table at the end of this
section. Provided, however, for the first billing period the
charge may be estimated on the basis of water used during the
