(a) A deposit will be required of each person, tenant or property owner, signing for water service. This may be increased to an amount comparable to the anticipated water charge for one billing period or to a larger amount if the signee has had a record of delinquent payment. This deposit is guarantee of payment of the final bill, and remains in the deposit account until the final bill is computed. The remainder, after deduction of the final bill, is returned to the water service signee upon his request, or to his authorized agent after proper identification. A deposit may be transferred to another account after the final bill has been paid. Interest will not be paid on deposits.
(b) If an unpaid balance remains after application of the deposit, no future water service will be extended to the consumer until the balance is paid in full.
