(a) An applicant for water or sewer service, or both, who is not the owner of the property for which service is requested shall deposit with the Department of Service a fee as determined by the Municipality. Such charges are provided for in Chapter 206. Such deposit shall be used to pay delinquent or past due accounts of the applicant making the deposit. All deposits shall be kept in a separate fund designated "Service Deposits." The full amount of the deposit, less any charges due for water and/or sewer service, shall be refunded when service is terminated.
(b) In addition to the deposit required in subsection (a) hereof, applicants must submit a form, which is available at the Department, signed by the owner of the property authorizing the Municipality to initiate or to reinstate water and/or sewer service.
