(A) The owner of any premise is responsible for the water bills incurred at that property, as well as any penalties for failure to pay the bill, whether that water bill is incurred in the name of the owner or a tenant occupying the property.
(B) Upon the written request of the landlord, the City Waterworks shall mail the water bill to the tenant or tenants occupying the property served; however, the billing of the water service to the tenant does not relieve the owner of the liability for the water bill, if the tenant fails to make the payment. The owners of property receiving water service shall have the right to examine the collection records of the City Waterworks for the purpose of determining whether the rates and charges made for water service have been paid by the tenants occupying their property. The examination of the records may be made in the office of the Clerk- Treasurer during business hours.
