Where the new residential applicant is a tenant in a residence that is not master metered, the <br />finance director shall not require, as a condition of the new applicant's establishing an <br />account and receiving service, that the account be established in the property owner's name <br />unless the property owner consents through a written agreement. <br />E. Where the new residential applicant is a tenant in a residence where the account for the <br />previous tenant has outstanding charges and/or penalties, the finance director shall not <br />require the new applicant to pay those charges/penalties as a condition of establishing an <br />account and receiving service unless the new applicant was an adult living in the residence <br />when the charges/penalties accrued. <br />F. If a portion or all of a bill is not paid, the security deposit shall be applied to satisfy the bill. <br />Any charges/penalties not satisfied from the security deposit may be collected by the city as <br />provided in Section 14.04.130 of this chapter. <br />(Prior code § 2-16.08; Ord. 1127 § 1, 1984; Ord. 1703 § 1, 1997) <br />§ 14.04.080. Rates outside city limits. <br />The charges for water furnished or available to premises outside the boundaries of the city shall <br />be in amounts equal to the charges which would be applicable if the premises were located within <br />the city.

All water charges shall be billed to the owner of the premises upon which charges herein <br />fixed are levied and assessed or to the person who requested connection to the water system, <br />or his or her successor in interest, or to any person requesting that such bill be charged to him <br />or her. <br />1. In the event water usage is recorded on a meter for which no connection has been <br />requested, the owner of the premises shall be responsible for all such water charges; <br />unless it is demonstrated to the city's reasonable satisfaction that during the period of <br />such water usage that the premises was occupied by person(s) or legal entity who had <br />requested that service at the premises be terminated as provided in Section 14.04.120. <br />B.
