More details to this question:
we do not have water to our cabin and we are trying to get the water hooked up. the lady that lived there before us took care of having the meter put in but never had the pipe put in to the house. We are having the pipe put in and went to the water co. to see what we needed to do to have the water turned on. we were told that the lady before us had about a $ 9000.00 bill that she owed for head fees and they will not turn on the water unless we pay this bill. should we have to pay a bill owed by the person that live there before us?

The bottom-line question here isi whether the seller knew of the outstanding bill.
Based on what you say, and if everything is in line and can be proved, the seller would most likely be responsible for the debt.
