In addition to connection charges as aforesaid, all customers except resident property owners shall pay a meter deposit to the city for water service before such customers shall be entitled to such service. The meter deposit shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for residential customers and one hundred dollars ($100.00) for commercial customers. Such deposit, less any unpaid charges, shall be refunded to the customer, his heirs, or assigns, whenever such customer notifies the city legally to disconnect or terminate service to such customer. No meter deposit shall be required of resident property owners.
