All charges for water are assessed against the property to which the service is rendered, and are a lien against such property, collectable in the same manner as other taxes and assessments; and it shall be the duty of persons purchasing property to ascertain if there are unpaid water charges standing against the property, or the municipality reserves the right not to give service to new owner until the lien is satisfied.
