The revenue from said tax shall be known as the Water Fund and shall remain in the custody of the Municipal Treasurer. The Utilities Superintendent shall have the direct management and control of the Municipal Water Department and shall faithfully carry out the duties of his or her office. The Utilities Superintendent shall have the authority to adopt rules and regulations for the sanitary and efficient management of the Water Department subject to the supervision and review of the governing body.
