This bill allows property owners, tenants, real estate closing attorneys or potential lenders to request and be provided a statement from the water provider indicating the amount of water charges past due. A response is required from the water supplier within 10 business days of receipt of such request. The failure of a water supplier to provide such statement within 10 business days shall cause any lien for unpaid charges to be extinguished, and, in addition, water suppliers cannot deny water services to the new property owner or tenant. |
