Atlanta investors: Did water co make you pay previous owners bill

I know the City of Atlanta has a habit of trying to collect previous owner's liens and many people just pay and don't fight. 

I would like to see who's interested in banding together and get some media attention?

I recently had to pay a $ 2400 bill when selling a house, that I had bought in 2009. I have the response for payoff request and watershed said that there aren't any outstanding bills. In 2014 they created a lien in the name of an owner who owned the property for 1 month in 2000. There were 9 other closings between that 2000 owner and when I bought it. 

I'm not going to roll over and play dead. Anyone else on board?
