Washington DC Utilities Unpaid by Former Owner

[Arthur C.]

Hey Guys,

I am getting close to the settlement day acquiring a foreclosed property and something came up in my mind about unpaid utilities at a foreclosed property.

Does anyone know if the utilities happen to remain unpaid by former owner at a foreclosed property will put liability on a new owner in Washington DC? From my understanding, there is usually a water escrow at the time of settlement but not sure about Pepco electricity and Washington Gas?

I would appreciate any comments here. Thank you.
