Unmetered Lighting Usage

The monthly billing charge for all unmetered lighting fixtures shall be the lamp rated of that fixture in watts divided by 1000 multiplied by 365 hours of operation per month multiplied by the then-current General Service billing rate. The monthly hours of operation are determined at 365 days in a year multiplied by 12 hours average operation day per day divided by 12 months that equals 365.
