It shall be the duty of the Finance Officer to notify persons whose rent is delinquent and the owner of the property occupied by such persons that unless such delinquent water rent be paid within ten days, the water service will be discontinued, until the past due bill and late charge amount is paid in full. Special circumstances will be dealt with by the City Council. In case the delinquent rent is not paid within that time, the Water Superintendent shall discontinue water service to the property occupied by him or her, together with the fee for turning on the same. The Water Superintendent is authorized to disconnect and take the meter and apply the meter deposit, or any part thereof, or any amount due to the city, under the provisions of this chapter.
