Deposits must be made by the consumer, in accordance with the deposit schedule adopted by the Finance Director and approved by the City Manager, for each service before connecting such service. Additional deposits for any service, to bring the total to the average monthly bill of the consumer for that service or to provide a sufficient surety to guarantee future payments of bills by consumers who have previously been indebted to the City in any manner whatsoever, may be required as determined by the Finance Director and the City Manager. Such deposits shall be kept on continuous deposit so long as the service is desired. At the termination of any service, the deposit will be refunded to the proper person on demand, less any balance due for that service up to the time of termination thereof, provided that no final bills, statements or refunds of less than one dollar ($1.00) shall be collected or refunded. Further, such deposit may be transferred from one service location to another service location for the same customer, in the event the customer moves but remains within the service area.
