A deposit in an amount as shall be established from time to time by the City Council shall be made with each application for natural gas service, as provided in § 50.23. These sums shall be retained by the city to ensure payment of all bills. When service to the applicant is discontinued permanently, this deposit, minus any amount still due the city for gas service, shall be refunded without interest. Where any applicant for gas service is the owner of the premises to be served, no such deposit shall be required.
