"Sac. 3-1-5 WATER RATES (Monthly)

The monthly rates or charges for water service furnished by
the City waterworks system for single-family dwellings shall
be as follows:

The monthly rates or charges for services furnished by the
City Waterworks System for non-single-family dwellings, such
as but not limited to mobile home parks or other users
wherein there is one master meter which serves more than one
unit shall be the same rates as set forth for single-family

from the master meter multiplied by the number of users of
