Water furnished to any property for any purpose
stands charged against such property regardless of change of ownership,

a premises for any unpaid bill or bills accumulated by a former owner
or owners and to refuse to turn the same on again until all arrears
and penalties are paid. In case of transfer of a property, the Water
Department should be immediately notified so that proper adjustment
may be made of any charges or repair bills against such property.
In case the water is turned off by an agent of the Water Department
for proper cause, no person shall turn it on again without permission
from the Water Department.

26B, Fees, for the fee.
