§ 52.22. DEPOSIT AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYMENT OF BILLS.

(A) For all water service furnished within the corporate limits of the city, the current property owner of record of the premises to which water service is furnished shall be responsible for the payment of all water bills for such service, irrespective of who incurred such unpaid bills or when such bills were incurred or who owned or occupied the property at the time the bills were incurred. For further reference as to the property owner's liability as to the payment of bills, see the city's general rules and regulations.

(B) Without relieving the property owner of the responsibility for payment of all water bills for service furnished within the corporate limits, and in all cases where service is furnished outside the corporate limits, the city reserves the right to require a suitable deposit to secure payment of water bills as set forth in the city's general rules and regulations.
