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 $12.05 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.
