New owner assuming sewer construction balance

[FastbackJon]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Washington.

I bought a house 2 years ago. My sewer bill is high (about $70 a month). I found out half of this goes to construction and finance costs towards the sewer, of which I started out with around a $5,000 balance. There is a 6.00% APR on the balance. The website for the county says this needs to be disclosed to the new owner.

I do not remember it ever being disclosed to me, and now I'm stuck with the bill. Did they need to disclose it in writing? What can I do?

Thanks

Have you gone through all your closing papers to see what they say about your question?

The fees should have been prorated so you may have ended up paying only a small % anyway.
