Transfer of ownership of property connected to the water system of the Village of South Amherst shall not relieve the property of responsibility for charges assessed against the property.
(b) Any Village utility account established and maintained in the name of a tenant, lessee or other person or party for water provided to the premises shall not relieve the property or the owner of the property for liability for water charges.
(c) If water charges for a premises have not been paid after due and payable, the Village may do either or both of the following:
(1) Certify said charges, together with the interest and penalties allowed by law to Lorain County Auditor, to be placed on the tax list and duplicate for said property, for which such water charges were rendered thereto.
(2) Collect the charges by actions at law in the name of the Village from an owner, tenant, or other person who is liable to pay the rents or charges.
