Current Bill Summary

SB 801 - This act removes the owner from liability from paying a tenant's or other occupant's sewer and water bill. Under the current law, it is deemed that sewer and water services are furnished to both the owner and occupant of the place that receives the services. The current law allows the city or sewer district to sue either the owner of the place or its occupant to recoup the costs of providing the services. This act states that the city or sewer district can only sue the occupant for such services.
