The owner of any building with two or more apartments shall make the meter deposit and be responsible for the payment of all water bills within that building. If there is only one meter that serves two or more apartments, the cost for the water provided to these apartments may be divided equally between the apartments; however, dividing the water service between apartments shall not be interpreted to shift the ultimate liability for the water service from the owner of the building to the tenants.
