Deposits received from customers under the provisions of the preceding section as security for payment of sewage service bills, together with interest accrued thereon, which remain uncollected for a period of two years or more after the discontinuance of sewage service to such customers, may be transferred to the sewage disposal fund of the city in the following manner: the city clerk shall publish a notice for three consecutive weeks in the official paper of the city, which notice shall state the name in which the deposit was made, the last address at which service was rendered to such person and the amount of the deposit remaining after the payment of all bills or charges for services rendered; and shall further state that unless a person claiming an interest in such deposit shall appear and file claim therefor within six months after the date of the last publication, such deposit will be transferred to the sewage disposal fund of the city. Unless the person entitled thereto shall, within the time stated in the notice, make claim therefor, such deposit shall be transferred to the sewage disposal fund of the city, and no action for the recovery of any such deposit may be brought unless commenced within two years after the deposit has been transferred. Any person under legal disability during such two-year period may bring such action within one year after such disability has been removed. (Prior code § 9-404)
