When I bought my first house (to live in), I was outraged that the sewer bill was separate from the water bill, and was a flat $90 every 2 months. I called to get "disconnected" figuring I'd just pee in the yard and shower at work or the gym.

You can't get disconnected (which makes sense with sewer). It's a debt that accrues to the property, and if you don't pay it, a lien is placed on the house, and eventually if it ever got too out of control, the house would be seized.

I'm amazed people are forced to pay for a service regardless if they use it or not, and the penalty could be you lose your home. Absolutely insane.
