No water shall be turned on for use on or in any premises until an application therefor in writing has been made for that purpose and filed with the Village Clerk, stating the purpose for which the water is to be used. If the applicant is not the owner in fee simple of the recorded title to the property where the applicant desires the water to be turned on, he or she shall deposit with his or her application the sum of $150 before any water is turned on. Such deposit shall be held by the village as security for the payment of water used by the applicant and may be so applied when any default is made in payment of a water bill. With respect to water service to properties in the R-1, R-2 and R-3 zoning districts, the owner of the premises, the occupant thereof and the user of the service shall be jointly and severally liable to pay for the service to such premises and the service is furnished to the premises by the village only upon the condition that the owner of the premises, occupant and user of the services are jointly and severally liable therefor to the village.
