Whenever a property obtains any or all of its water from sources other than the City's public water supply and discharges any portion thereof into the City's se't-Ters, the quantity of water so obtained shall be measured by a device or by devices approved by the Director of the Department of Public Works and shall be installed and maintained without cost to the City. The quantity of water so obtained shall also be subject to the sewer service charges hereinabove imposed and to all other provisions and conditions of this ordinance. For purposes of computing and billing the total monthly sewer service charge against the property or customer the quantity of water used by the property or customer, from both the City's public water supply and the private source, shall be combined in applying the tariff herein established.
