The Director of Public Service may, for the purpose of paying expenses of conducting and managing the water works of a municipal corporation, assess and collect a water rent of sufficient amount and in such manner as he deems equitable from all tenements and premises supplied with water. When more than one tenant or water taker is supplied with one hydrant or off the same pipe, and when the assessments therefor are not paid when due, the Director shall look directly to the owner of the property for so much of the water rent as remains unpaid, which shall be collected in the same manner as other City taxes.
