(b) The number of cubic feet or gallons against which the established rate is measured shall not be reduced in such a fashion as to cause the amount billed to a customer of the regional sewerage authority to exceed two percent of the amount billed to the customer for the same usage in the previous budget year.

(c) The minimum charge, or the fixed charge for unmetered consumption, per unit, parcel, or fixture shall not increase by more than two percent versus the amount charged in the previous budget year. Fees charged for connection to a regional sewerage authority's system shall not be subject to this limitation; however, this subsection shall not be interpreted to override the limitations on connection fees set forth at N.J.S.A. 40:14A-8.b.
