Charlotte City Code § 23-46
in effectSec. 23-46. - Description of service user charges for users of CMUD water not discharged into CMUD sewer system.
(a) If a customer is charged for sewer service and uses water from the CMUD water distribution system that is not discharged into the CMUD sewer system for an industrial or commercial purpose, the quantity of water so used, and not discharged into the sewer system, shall be excluded from the calculation of the sewer service charge, provided the quantity of water so used and not discharged into the CMUD sewer system is measured by a device which is approved by CMUD and is installed and maintained at the owner's expense and provided that the water supply of such property is metered, and the owner pays for such water at the current metered rate.
(b) The sewer customer will pay a user charge based on water consumption. The charge is computed according to the water and sewer rate methodology documents using the quantity of water actually discharged into the CMUD sewer system. If, in the opinion of CMUD, it is not practical to install a measuring device to determine the quantity of water discharged into the sewer system, CMUD may calculate the percentage of metered water discharged into the sewer system. The quantity of water used to determine the sewer service charge shall be the percentage so calculated of the quantity measured by the water meter.
(c) Any dispute as to such calculation shall be submitted to the city manager after notice of the estimate is received. The city manager's decision on the matter shall be final.
