§ 401-95. Owner's Responsibility.

The maintenance of water service connections being a substantial and valuable benefit to land, any owner of real estate premises maintaining such water service connections shall assume responsibility for the total of all water charges levied against the premises during such ownership in the same manner as the person who actually incurred the charges. This assumption of responsibility shall be a necessary condition to the continuance of water services to the premises and the failure to pay such charges when billed in accordance with the provisions of this division of the Cincinnati Municipal Code shall constitute grounds for the superintendent to refuse water service to the premises.
