 SECTION  ONE  OF  THIS ACT, THE CITY OF NEW YORK SHALL MAKE CERTAIN THAT
 THERE ARE NO CHARGES BEING LEVIED FOR SERVICES WHICH WERE  NOT  SUPPLIED

   2.  IN  INSTANCES  WHERE THE CITY OF NEW YORK HAS EMPLOYED AN IMPROPER
 METER MULTIPLIER, AND WHERE THE CITY OF  NEW  YORK  HAS  HAD  ACTIVE  OR
 CONSTRUCTIVE  KNOWLEDGE  OF  THE EXISTENCE OF SUCH INCORRECT MULTIPLIER,
 THE CITY OF NEW YORK SHALL GRANT THE ENTITY CREDIT FOR THE  PERIOD  WHEN

 RECORDED  BY  THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND THEN APPLIED, USING TYPICAL PROC-
 ESSES FOR SUCH CALCULATIONS, TO THE PERIODS IN WHICH SERVICES  WERE  NOT
 SUPPLIED  TO  ESTABLISH  THE  AMOUNT OF THE CREDIT TO BE GRANTED FOR THE
 RELEVANT PERIOD, BEGINNING WITH THE DATE OF INSTALLATION OF THE METER.
