Owners buying or selling properties should see that proper transfer of accounts is made at the office of the Utilities Clerk and water charges have been paid to date of transfer of title. Lexington will make every possible effort to collect water charges or assessments as promptly as the nature and volume of its business permits, but no consumer or owner of property shall be relieved from an obligation for assessments that may be unpaid through failure of Lexington to make collections as provided by its rules.
(1980 Code 51.34)
