Delinquent water bills hidden

[Joe Attard]

We have bought two houses over the last year that have had delinquent water bills rolled into our next city tax cycle.  Just curious if anyone has experience recovering this cost from the title company or have suggestions on preventing?  

Thanks, Joe

Our attorney ALWAYS holds back an escrow amount to cover this specific item. Plus yours should have found it attached to the taxes when they reviewed the search???
