ACCOUNT RESPONSIBILITY

What if I sell my home serviced by the Sanitary District?

If ownership changes, buyer and seller must arrange for payment of previous charges.  Please contact the District for a closing bill calculation.

What if I have my home is a rental property?

The property owner is legally responsible for all charges on the OWW Sanitary District's bill.  By law, sewer charges, including lien costs, remain with the property.

The Sanitary District will bill a tenant, please contact the District to make arrangements.  If the bill is being sent to a tenant and a lien is filed due to a tenant's non-payment, the tenants name will be permanently removed from the account.  All future billing and correspondence will go directly to the property owner.

If the owner of the real property serviced by the OWW Sanitary District, and is not the occupant of that property, a copy of the bill and any past due notices will be furnished to the owner, and will be furnished if requested by the owner.
