Before a permit for the use of water shall be issued where meters cannot be conveniently used, the person applying for the same shall deposit $20 with the Village Treasurer as a payment on account of water to be used by him or her. On or before 30 days from the date of the permit, the person to whom such permit is issued shall file with the Water Department a statement in writing, verified by his or her affidavit, showing fully the purpose for which the water was used by him or her for that time, and the amount and location of all work done by him or her during said time in connection with which any water was used, or required. The Superintendent shall ascertain from said statement and any other information, the amount due for water so used. If the amount so found to be due, together with all other fees and costs chargeable against such person, is less than the sum deposited, the surplus shall be paid back to the depositor. If the amount due for water so used is more than the sum deposited, then the excess shall be paid at once to the Water Department by such person. If such person desires to continue to use the water after he or she shall have filed his or her statement, he or she shall again deposit $20.
