business license, if applicable, or, if not, prior to building permit issuance. If not collectable in this
manner, said difference shall be invoiced with the next billing for water service and collectable in
the same manner as the billing for water service.
If a building or the use of a building on a parcel of property is changed in a way that would
make the water source acquisition charge less, no refund shall be made but the property shall retain
the amount of credit established for its previous use."
