Latest version.

The owner of every building, lot, house or other premises shall be liable for payment of all water rents and rates and penalties for all water delivered to or taken and used upon his premises; provided, however, that in case any tenant or other person in possession of the premises shall pay the water rents and rates and the penalties, the owner shall not be required to pay the same, but the town shall not be required to demand of or seek payment from any other person whomsoever except the owner of the premises for the payment of the water rents and rates. In case there shall be any water rent delinquent and the supply has been turned off, the water shall not be turned on again until all such delinquent water rents have been paid.
