§ 19-156. Property owner chargeable for water and sewerage charges.

All charges for water and sewer shall be in the name of the person residing at the property, except in cases of rental property where more than one tenant is served by the same meter. In cases where more than one tenant is served by the same meter, the property owner is primarily responsible for the water service. Failure to pay for the water and sewerage for any one (1) month, ten (10) days after it is due, the water shall be immediately cut off, and when water is cut off for failure to sign contract or failure to pay the water or sewerage rent when due, it shall only be cut on again upon payment of a charge or fee which is on file in the city clerk's office, which charge shall be over and above the service fees due, which shall also be paid before the water is again turned on. Any new connection for a resident who is not a property owner requires a deposit. The amount of deposit and other fees are on record in the city clerk's office.
