No more than one residential unit or one commercial or
industrial establishment shall be served through one meter,
except where this condition now exists or except where special
conditions make it more practical to serve through one meter.
Where more than one residential unit (e.g., residence,
apartment, mobile home, housekeeping or other unit) or com-
mercial or industr ial establ ishment is served through one
meter, both the minimum charge and the consumption blocks set
forth in this section will be increased in proportion to the
~
number of such units served through the one meter. Where more
than one meter is required to serve a single commercial or
industrial establishment, the meter size will be combined for
the purpose of determining the minimum rate. Where multiple
residential units are served through one meter, the minimum
charge for each uni t will be based upon the residential minimum
for a five-eighth-inch meter.
In all such multiple unit
situations, a one dollar per unit billing credit shall be
granted on the basis of an assumed eighty-five percent occu-
pancy rate.
Section 2.
That the provisions of this Ordinance are
separable and if a phrase or provision shall be declared
invalid, such declaration shall not affect the validity of the
remainder of the Ordinance.
Section 3. That all ordinances and resolutions and parts
thereof in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
Section 4. That it is hereby ascertained and declared that
the lack of funds constitutes a hazard to the life, health and
welfare of the inhabitants of the City, and that only by the
passage of the foregoing rates can this situation be corrected.
It is, therefore, declared that an emergency exists and this
Ordinance being necessary for the immediate preservation of the
public peace, health and safety shall take effect and be in
force from and after its passage.
