SECTION 4: That Section 5-131 of the Revised and Compiled Ordinances of the City of Meridian is hereby re-enacted to read as follows: 5-131: MONTHLY RATES: All owners who receive or have the right to receive the benefit of the City's municipal water system shall, in return for said benefit, pay monthly user charges as described below. The monthly user charge shall be based on the amount of water supply system. The owners of all property within the corporate limits, which property is within three hundred feet (300') of the municipal water supply system, and all water users outside the corporate limits shall pay a minimum monthly user charge. The minimum monthly user charge for all uses shall be based on one equivalent connection per single family resident.

Any user having more than one classification of use shall be charged for the sum of classifications. The minimum monthly user charge shall be six dollars ($6.00) per equivalent connection.

All monthly water rates will be charged against the property for which the City water service line is installed. The owner of record is liable for that amount, which must be paid before the water service is resumed. In the event the owner leaves an unclaimed balance in his account, that amount shall be kept for six (6) months after which time it shall revert to the General Fund of the City.
