There is established a sewer deposit for customers using the city sanitary sewer as follows.
(A) A deposit shall be required of any user who has not established a credit record satisfactory to the Superintendent of the water pollution control plant in an amount equal to the larger of the average quarterly sewer bill for the type of customer requesting service or $40.
(B) Such deposit shall be refunded to the party posting it upon the cessation of use by the depositor or upon two years’ satisfactory credit performance. If there are delinquent charges upon cessation of use, the deposit may be applied to the charges, and the balance, if any, shall then be refunded.
