(A) The owner or tenant of any real property having municipal utility service and responsible for payment of the monthly charges for water, sewer, garbage and other municipal utilities and services shall pay the monthly charges for all municipal utilities and services without regard to whether the property is vacant for any period of time. The owner or tenant may avoid the obligation to pay the monthly charge for municipal utilities and services for any period of vacancy by having the town turn off the water service at the curb stop and paying the service fee. An additional reconnection fee shall be charged by the town when utility service is restored to the property. Such fees shall be periodically set by motion.
(B) During this time, the town is not liable for any broken water meters, frozen water lines or water breaks from the curb stop to the residence.
