Whenever premises are vacated, the owner thereof and the consumer of the service if other than the owner shall immediately give notice to the city. Upon receipt of the notice, the city shall shut off water service to the vacated premises and present to the owner and the consumer of the service, if other than the owner, a bill for any unpaid water charges furnished by the city to that time, which charges shall be immediately due and payable. In the event the consumer shall have made a deposit, the balance, if any, of the deposit shall be returned to the consumer after deducting therefrom the amount of any unpaid charges. Until notice has been given to city, the premises shall be deemed occupied and the liability of the owner and of the consumer of the service, if other than the owner, shall continue for unpaid service thereto.
