The rates and charges shall be prepared and billed by the town and shall be collected in the manner provided by law and ordinance. The rates and charges will be billed to the tenant or tenants occupying the property served, unless otherwise requested in writing by the owners, but such billing shall in no way relieve the owner from liability in the event payment is not made as herein required. The owners of the property served, which are occupied by tenants, shall have the right to examine the collection records of the town for the purpose of determining whether such rates and charges have been paid by such tenants, provided that such examination is made in the office in which the records are kept and during the hours that such office is open for business. In case water service is shut off for nonpayment by a tenant, the owner of the property will receive a duplicate of the notice of shut off, but only if the property owner shall have first filed with the Clerk-Treasurer a written request for such notice.
