§ 74-76. Assessment of rates against consumers.

(a)

The water rates, as established by the current schedule adopted by the town council, shall be assessed by the town clerk against the person using the water and to whom and for whose use the water is supplied. Such assessment shall be reported to the town treasurer, whose duty shall be to make collection thereof as provided for in this section.

(b)

Where water is supplied to more than one owner, family or occupant through a single service pipe on which there is a meter, the town will not undertake to apportion the charges for such use of water among the several owners, occupants or families, but the bill for the use of water shall be a charge against the owner or occupant through whose premises such service pipe first passes.
