D. Irrigation accounts shall be those accounts developed from the use of water for irrigation through a meter or meters separate from the metering of other water use upon such property. Group 2 customers who connect to the water system after passage of the ordinance codified in this section will be required to use a separate meter or meters for irrigation purposes and the water usage through such separate meter or meters shall be considered as an irrigation account. If such a new Group 2 customer is assuming an existing Group 2 account, the requirement to install a separate meter or meters for irrigation purposes shall not apply.

E. Publicly owned recreation property such as city or county parks and school district playfields shall be billed pursuant to the schedule for Group 2 customers. Provided, however, that to qualify for such billing, the facility must first receive an irrigation audit by the city water department and demonstrate that a good faith effort is being made to remedy deficiencies and conserve water.

F. The billing rate to those customers utilizing water directly from water hydrants, with the consent of the city, shall be charged at a rate equivalent to the charges applicable to In-City Group 1 customers for consumption in excess of two thousand four hundred cubic feet.

G. Service charge revenues shall be used for the purpose of maintenance and operations, debt service requirements, and maintaining minimum maintenance and operations reserve thresholds. The balance of revenues received from said charges shall be used for the replacement, repair and expansion of water systems and equipment.
