each and every year thereafter it shall be levied at the same
time as are other taxes, and included in the tax bills of the
owners of real property in said town. In case the revenue
derived in any year from the charges made for furnishing
water to the residents of said town shall exceed the expenses,
or the cost of maintenance of the sewerage or water system,
the Mayor and Common Council shall have power in their dis-
