438. When a dwelling-house or other building is occupied by two or more tenants, subtenants or families, the municipality may require from the owner that a separate and distinct service pipe be provided by him for each such tenant, subtenant or family, occupying separate apartments, so that the municipality may at all times have control over the supply of water furnished to each such tenant, subtenant or family, as in the case of single tenanted houses; and if the property-owner, after being notified in writing to that effect by an officer or employee of the municipality, refuses or neglects to comply with the requirements of this section within a reasonable time, not to exceed fifteen days, he shall be liable to the payment of the rates imposed for the water so supplied to the said tenants, subtenants or families; and such liability on the part of the property-owner shall continue so long as he does not comply with the requirements aforesaid.

Such liability shall apply to any owner of a row of dwelling-houses or tenements contiguous to one another, who refuses or neglects to provide each such house or tenement with a separate and distinct service pipe, after notice given to him, as aforesaid; and such liability shall also apply to the owner in all cases where the number of tenants, subtenants or families in a dwelling-house is such that it is impossible to provide a separate service pipe for each of them; and the municipality may, in such cases, exact from the owner the ordinary price of water for each such tenant, subtenant or family.
