The Florists^ Review 



May 11, 1922 



last cited it is also held to be an un- 

 reasonable regulation to deny water to 

 an owner or occupant of a building be- 

 cause of a default of a prior owner or 

 prior occupant, though reasonable to 

 deny water to a delinquent patron. 

 This personal nature of the service and 

 the rights of all citizens to its enjoy- 

 ment necessarily exclude the notion 

 that a water company can deny service 

 to a tenant whose landlord refuses to 

 guarantee payment for such service. 



"Nor is there, as between a land- 

 lord and his tenant, any liability on the 

 part of the landlord to pay for water 

 supplied to the premises in the absence 

 of express or implied agreement be- 

 tween them to that effect. Water pipes 

 and fixtures are appurtenances of a 

 building and the use of them passes to 

 a tenant. But the water is a com- 

 modity in no way attached to the 

 realty, and is not the property of the 

 landlord; it is to be furnished at a 

 price to such person as is entitled to 

 receive it and desires to purchase it. 

 Sheldon v. Hamilton, 22 K. I. 230, 47 

 Atl. 316, 84 Am. St. Rep. 839. As be- 

 tween the water company and the 

 tenant who is entitled to receive water 

 service and whose premises are properly 

 equipped for such service, it has been 

 specifically held that the public duty 

 of the water company to serve patrons 

 without discrimination, denies to such 

 company the right to refuse to supply 

 such tenant or to impose a condition 

 that the landlord become responsible 

 for the charges. 



Tenant's Rights. 



' ' The general rule which apears to be 

 recognized by practically all the au- 

 thorities on the general subject may 

 be said to be that, in the absence of 

 legislation to the contrary, a tenant is 

 privileged to contract for water serv- 

 ice to the same extent as the owner of 

 the property, and that any restriction 

 upon or discrimination against that 

 right of a tenant is inconsistent with 

 the public duties imposed upon a water 

 company and accordingly unlawful; 

 and that, in the absence of legislation 

 creating a lien on the real estate for 

 water service or other legislation of 

 like effect, no person can be denied 

 service because of delinquency of a 

 prior owner or tenant. No legislation in 

 this state of the nature suggested has 

 been brought to the attention of the 

 court. 



"It appears to be held with entire 

 uniformity of decisions that, in the 

 absence of statutory regulation to the 

 contrary, it is the duty of a water 

 company to lay water mains and all 

 laterals, fixtures and connections in 

 such manner that connections may be 

 made with properties at the boundary 

 lines between streets and alleys and 

 private lots; that it is not the duty or 

 privilege of a water company to enter 

 upon private property in the construc- 

 tion of its system beyond that boundary 

 line, and is not the duty or right of a 

 citizen to lay pipes in the street or be- 

 yond the boundary referred to. . , . 

 Accordingly, the owners and tenants of 

 a building must accept entire responsi- 

 bility for the suitable equipment of 

 such buildings to receive reasonable 

 service. 



"But where a building is supplied 

 with water through a, single tap, and 

 separate parts of the building are oc-
