Any person billed for water usage may apply to the Town Manager for abatement during the year following such billing, upon a written claim that an incorrect rate was applied to such usage. Upon review of the application, which may in the Town Manager's discretion include a hearing with the applicant, the Town Manager may certify abatement of so much of the charges as were incorrectly billed. During such review, the Town Manager may presume that the rate is correct if the subject property's most recent tax classification in the records of the Board of Assessors matches the rate classification set by the Board of Selectmen. Such presumption may be rebutted by the applicant upon a showing that the use or configuration of the property has changed since the tax classification date.
