§ 3306. Charges; lien
The owner or occupant of any tenement, house, or building who takes the water of a
municipal corporation shall be liable for the rent or price of the same, and the officers
and agents of the municipal corporation entrusted with the care and superintendence
of the water may at all reasonable times enter all premises so supplied to examine
the pipes and fixtures and prevent any unnecessary waste. If any person, without the
consent of the municipal corporation, shall use any water, a civil action on this
statute may be maintained against the person by the municipal corporation for the
recovery of damages. The charges, rates, or rents for water shall be a lien upon the
real estate furnished with the municipal corporation water in the same manner and
to the same effect as taxes are a lien on real estate under 32 V.S.A. § 5061. (Amended 2019, No. 131 (Adj. Sess.), § 258.)
