A deposit of one hundred dollars ($100.00) shall be required from all tenants, and such deposit shall be delivered to the Clerk, and shall be deposited in a separate fund designated the "Water Deposit Account". Such deposit shall be applied to any bill for water service delinquent more than ten days.
