For the purposes of "Schedule 9", all water entering the property through
the water meter is assumed to reach the sewer unless the discharger
presents evidence to the contrary which is satisfactory to the District.
The District Manager, with Board approval, may adjust the charges in those
cases where a significant percentage of the water entering the property
does not enter the sewer system; but in no case shall he adjust the sewer
service charge so that the resulting monthly charge is less than $14.90
per month.
Any and all units that have sewer characteristics which the District deems
to be unusual, including any of the above, shall have monthly rates
established upon study and recommendation by the Manager and approval of
the Board of Directors.
