premises in the same sewer service charge rate classification,
then the Executive Director shall require measurement of the
sewage discharged from the premises at the expense of the owner or
occupant by a water meter or meters or by a sewage flow meter or
meters. If such measurement shows that the sewage flow is
excessive, sewer service charges for such premises shall be
computed at SCHEDULE B rates. SCHEDULE B For all premises not included in Schedule A, or specifically excluded therefrom by provisions thereof: WATER CONSUMPTION RATE EACH SIX MONTHS PREVIOUS SIX MONTHS PER 100 CUBIC FEET Minimum charge $4.00 First 50 ccf Minimum Next 2,450 ccf $0.05 Next 42,500 ccf 0.04 Over 45,000 ccf 0.03
