When water has been turned on to any premises, the same shall continue to be charged against the said premises until the city clerk is ordered, in writing, by the owner to discontinue the same. All accounts for water shall be kept in the name of the owner of the premises until some later owner shall notify the city clerk of the change in ownership. No water shall be billed to any tenant unless the lease to the latter is recorded and the owner of the premises requests, in writing, that the water be charged to the tenant and the said tenant deposits with the city clerk a sum determined by the city council to be sufficient to protect the city against any and all delinquent and unpaid charges for water, or other charges and penalties on account of such service. All charges will be recorded against the premises for which the service was installed. (Ord. 529, 11-2-1965)
