All accounts for water shall be kept against the number of the premises and property described for which the service was installed. However, any tenant and any person holding under lease may be supplied with water on their own account when proper application is made, and in such cases, the authority shall require such deposit of money with the authority as shall be necessary to protect the authority against any and all delinquent or unpaid charges for water or for other delinquent and unpaid charges for such service.
