Before any premises may be served with water or sewage disposal services, the person contracting shall:
(A) Be in compliance with all ordinances and regulations of the city;
(B) Apply for water and sewage disposal services and agree to pay for those services; and
(C) Deposit with the Finance Director a reasonable amount of money as determined by the Director of Finance to guarantee payment for any indebtedness arising out of said servicing of the premises. Provided, that no deposit shall be required for service to a single-family residence from a person who has had city water or sewage disposal service previously for a period of two years and has at all times paid for all such services promptly, nor shall a deposit be required if the Director of Finance finds that the applicant has a satisfactory credit rating. In no case where a deposit is required shall the deposit be less than $150. No interest shall be paid on deposits. Said deposit will be credited to the final bill upon termination of service.
