AI Summary
- Property owners, tenants, contract purchasers, closing attorneys, and lenders may request a written statement from any public or private water supplier detailing current and past-due water charges, late fees, and interest owed on a specific property, with the supplier required to respond within 10 business days
- Water suppliers may charge a fee of up to $10.00 to provide the requested statement of amounts owed
- If a water supplier fails to respond within the 10 business day period, any lien for unpaid water charges is automatically extinguished as to the new purchaser or lender, and the supplier is prohibited from denying water service to the new owner or tenant
- The information in the supplier's statement is binding for 30 days, and full payment tendered within that period extinguishes any lien the supplier holds against the property
- Associations subject to Georgia's condominium law (Article 3 of Chapter 3 of Title 44) that supply water are exempt from these requirements
