b. Permitting the denial of service to subsequent occupants of the property due to an unpaid utility bill;
c. Allowing the filing of liens on a property where the landlord is not a party to the service agreement;

are hereby repealed and of no further force and effect.

4. The provisions herein, when approved and adopted, shall be effective beginning with the June 2023 billing period.
