safe place, readily accessible for meter readings, inspection, repair or removal.

Notes:
1 Rates will be billed bi-monthly and are subject to the same penalty dates and provisions as the
metered water billings.
2 No complaint of an error in any charge for sewer rates or charges shall be considered and no
adjustment of any such error shall be made after a period of one year has elapsed since the
end of the period for which such sewer rates or charges were made. After the termination
of this period, all such sewer charges shall be deemed to have been properly and correctly made.
3 Property owners wishing to qualify for an irrigation credit must install a secondary meter to
record water used for irrigation. Water gallonage that is subject to sewer charges will be
calculated by deducting consumption at the secondary meter from that at the primary meter.
