B.

The director shall designate the class each customer is to be placed in for billing purposes.

C.

If the director inaccurately determines or fails to accurately determine a customer's water and sewer service usage rate classification and/or meter minimum rate classification based on the customer's previous twelve months water usage as a qualifying period, which shall not exceed twelve months from the qualifying period for the previous rate review, and such inaccurate determination or lack of accurate determination results in the customer being overcharged for water and sewer services, the director shall reimburse the customer for the overpayment for a period of thirty-six months prior to the date the error is discovered; provided, that if a date certain can be established for such error which is less than thirty-six months prior to the date the error is discovered, the director shall not reimburse the customer for overpayment beyond such date. The provisions of this subsection shall apply retroactively to any commercial customers that submitted a written notification to the water services department of the metropolitan government prior to January 1, 2006, requesting credit for water/sewer rate overcharges.
