I am selling/buying a house in Winchester that has Town water, what must I do to have a smooth transition from one owner to the next?

Your lawyer, realtor or Title Company should contact us at least several days before final closing. After they give us this notification we will read the water meter and generate a final bill to be settled at the closing. The seller of the property is the one normally responsible to pay this bill unless there is an agreement with all parties involved in the sale or purchase. If a final water bill is not settled at the closing, the new owner will be held responsible for this bill.
