2. (2) Per unit for any multifamily residence at which each unit's electricity usage cannot be measured, to be calculated by dividing the amount of the total arrearage assigned to the property by the number of units at the property at the time of the proposed disconnection, regardless of the amount of debt held by the owner or an individual tenant.
