Bylaw No. 10427
Page 7
8262695
consumed for internal processes within the building is thirty (30%) percent or
greater than the total volume of water delivered to the building, the sanitary

shall be assessed based a volume equal to the difference between the volume of
water delivered and the volume of water consumed for those internal processes.

if the amount of water recorded for the metered property for:
(i)
the billing period in which the leak was discovered is greater than
the average amount, the property owner will pay sanitary
sewer system user fees under subsection 2.1.1 based upon the
metered rate specified in Part 2 of Schedule B applied to all
amounts recorded up to the average amount for that billing
period; and
(ii)
the billing period previous to that in which the leak was
discovered is greater than the average amount, the property
