In the event increased use is or will be made of the sewer, and the actual, calculated, or estimated volume of wastewater discharge exceeds or will exceed the volume of wastewater discharge the premises are entitled to discharge, an additional sewer connection charge shall be paid. The additional sewer connection charge shall be calculated by subtracting the wastewater discharge entitlement assigned to the parcel from the actual, calculated or estimated volume of wastewater discharge, measured in gallons per day, average daily flow and multiplying the remainder by the non-residential connection charge rate.
