There shall be required from every new customer or prospective customer that makes application for a new or different water service from the City a one-hundred-dollar ($100.00) deposit and new customer social security number intended to guarantee the payment of bills for service. A two-hundred-dollar ($200.00) deposit is required if a new customer does not provide their social security number. The deposit shall be paid in full to the City before the service will be turned on or put into the tenant's name. When a customer moves, he or she shall receive the deposit back within thirty (30) days after the date of the final meter reading or the account of such customer shall be credited with the amount of the deposit within thirty (30) days on any bills due and owing. A customer who has paid their deposit and has not received a red tag over a twelve (12) month period, then shall receive the deposit refund as a credit on their water bill.
