Water Bills - Property Owners

KS

Municipality's ordinance provides that the property owner is jointly &
severally liable with any tenant or occupier of property for the payment of
all water and sewer charges.  The town has never sued the property owner for
unpaid water/sewer bills (as far as I know) but the water will not be
restored to the property until all past-due accounts are brought current.

Do you see any issue with this?

Thanks
