When I purchased my house, I received a letter that said sewer charges will be based on water usage. For the first couple months there was no water usage, but I still received a sewer bill. Apparently they charge $34/mo regardless of use, for all eternity. I called the sewer company and told them they could discontinue service and I wasn't going to pay the bill. They responded that they can't discontinue service and that they would put a lien on the house.
I can't believe it is legal to take ownership of a persons home just because they wouldn't pay for a service they didn't want, but were forced to have.
