§ 34-125. Multiple meters serving residential and general customers.

(a)

Residential. The meter readings of two (2) or more meters with like service addresses shall be combined for billing purposes. However, if any such meter(s) with like service address is classified as a potable water irrigation meter, such meter reading(s) shall not be combined with the remaining meter reading(s). The meter reading amounts from the meters classified as irrigation shall appear on the account as irrigation use and a charge will be assessed in accordance with Rate Schedule C. Any remaining meters with a like service address not designated as irrigation meters will then be combined for billing purposes. Such combined meter billings will be based upon combining the applicable meter charges and the applicable volume charges as provided in the applicable residential rate schedule attached hereto. Such combined meter reading amounts will appear on the account as domestic use (non-irrigation water and sewer).

(b)

General. The meter readings of two (2) or more meters even though serving a single general customer and even though serving a single building establishment shall not be combined for billing purposes. A separate billing shall be made for the water metered through each individual meter based upon the applicable meter charge and block-rate scale of volume charges as provided in the applicable general rate schedule attached hereto with the charges computed the same as if that were the only meter serving such customer, building or establishment.
