Within 20 days of the sale of real property served by the Department, the purchaser and seller of the property shall notify the Department of the pending sale in order to allow a final reading of the seller’s meter and calculation of the final charges for water service prior to closing. The obligation to provide notice to the Department shall lie with both the property purchaser and seller. In the event notice is not received by the Department and charges for water service incurred by the seller are unpaid, those unpaid water service charges shall become the obligation of the purchaser of the property.
