If, however, a customer does not receive such notice, it shall be the customer's responsibility to contact the Water Billing office to determine the allocation, and the allocation shall be fully effective notwithstanding the lack of receipt of written notice. Upon request of the customer or at the initiative of the City Manager, the allocation may be reduced or increased, (1) if the designated period does not accurately reflect the customer's normal water use because the customer had shutdown a major processing unit for repair or overhaul during the period, (2) the customer has added or is in the process of adding significant additional processing capacity, (3) the customer has shutdown or significantly reduced the production of a major processing unit, (4) the customer has previously implemented significant permanent water conservation measures such that the ability to further reduce water use is limited, (5) the customer agrees to transfer part of its allocation to another industrial customer, or (6) if other objective evidence demonstrates that the designated allocation is inaccurate under present conditions. A customer may appeal an allocation established hereunder to the City Council of the City of Paris. Industrial customers shall pay the following surcharges: Customers whose allocation is 800 cubic feet through 1600 cubic feet per month: $0.50per 100 cubic feet for the first 100 cubic feet over allocation. $0.75per 100 cubic feet for the second 100 cubic feet over allocation. $1.00per 100 cubic feet for the third 100 cubic feet over allocation. $1.25per 100 cubic feet for each additional 100 cubic feet over allocation. Customers whose allocation is greater than 1600 cubic feet per month: 1.2 times the block rate for each 100 cubic feet in excess of the allocation up through five percent (5%) above allocation. 1.3 times the block rate for each 100 cubic feet from five percent (5%) through ten percent (10%) above allocation. 1.4 times the block rate for each 100 cubic feet from ten percent (10%) through fifteen percent (15%) above allocation. 1.5 times the block rate for each 100 cubic feet more than fifteen percent (15%) above allocation. The surcharges shall be cumulative. As used herein, "block rate" means the charge to the customer per 100 cubic feet at the regular water rate schedule at the level of the customer's allocation.
