For the user classes billed on a consumption basis, all water supply shall be considered, whether public or private. In the event water meters are not in place, inoperative, or for some reason cannot be read, all consumption will be based on the estimated water consumed. Where estimations must be made for multiple billing periods, the user shall be allowed a consumption base allocation equivalent to the amount estimated, and all actual consumption billed at the appropriate rate. In the event estimated consumption exceeds actual consumption, the user will be credited

with any amounts paid in excess of actual consumption. Where no meter exists, bills will be as provided in this sub-chapter.
