(a) The Director of Public Utilities shall cause water to be furnished free of charge to the Division of Fire for the purpose of extinguishing fire and cleaning fire apparatus. No charge shall be made by the Director for the furnishing of supplying connections with fire hydrants within the territory of the City, nor shall there be a charge for repair and maintenance of fire hydrants. The Director shall cause water to be furnished free of charge to market houses within the territory of the City for the purpose of cleaning market houses, and to public buildings owned by the City for use therein.
(b) In accordance with Charter Section 113, the accounts of the Division of Water shall reflect the value of the services so rendered. If at any time any department or division shall collect for water used from lessees or occupants of all or portions of any public buildings and market houses, such collections shall be at the regular rates for such service and be remitted to the Division.
