When water meter reading would cause freezing or breakage of meters and water lines during winter months, billings for water service during said months will be based on the minimum allowed usage as established by ordinance of the Vernal City Council. Billing for water usage during each of these months, which is, in fact, above the minimum allowed per month, shall be reflected on the first water billing after the meters have been properly read and recorded.
