Post: Responsibility of Connecting Utilities for Inspections

We are working on a shortsell property in Florida. The property is vacant and there is no water or energy in it. The owner is not there, and has no interest in selling the house or letting it go to foreclosure.

Is it my responsibility to turn the utilities on? If the answer is "the investor (buyer)", who is liable in case I turn the water on and one of the pipes burst?

If the answer "the lender/bank", do you guys have an idea on success rate?

Thanks...
