A ll w ater delivered through m etered tem porary service shall be paid fo r at the established schedule o f rates fo r general usage. A n y service installed as a tem porary service may be reclassified as a permanent service upon request o f the original applicant made w ithin tw o years o f the date o f the original installation provided; that there has been continuous service fo r tw elve months or more w ith paym ent o f bills, and, in the case o f services tw o inches or larger, the total revenue from the service is equal to or greater than ten times the cost o f the installation exclusive o f the cost o f the meter.
