Owners of property shall be held responsible for water used on their premises although payments shall be accepted from tenants. In the event tenants do not pay in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter, the service shall be disconnected and shall not be restored until the delinquent water charges, including the cost of water delivered, as well as the cost of reconnecting the service and any sewer service charges, shall have been paid. All unpaid accounts for water delivered to any premises shall be a lien against the real property.
