(2) (a) A municipality may not use an owner's failure to pay for water furnished or sewer service provided to the owner's property as a basis for not furnishing water or providing sewer service to the property after ownership of the property is transferred to a subsequent owner. (b) A municipality may not require an owner to pay for water that was furnished or sewer service that was provided to the property before the owner's ownership.
