(b) (1) IN THIS SUBSECTION, "WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY" INCLUDES A
PERSON TO WHICH THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF A WATER AND SEWER

a member of the public who intends to occupy or rent the property for residential
purposes shall disclose the estimated cost, as established by the appropriate water
and sewer authority, of any deferred water and sewer charges for which the purchaser
may become liable. If the appropriate water and sewer authority has not established
a schedule of charges for the water and sewer project that benefits the property or if
a local jurisdiction has adopted a plan to benefit the property in the future, the
contract of sale shall disclose that fact.

recover from the seller:

(1) Two times the amount of deferred charges the purchaser would be
obligated to pay during the 5 years of payments following the sale;

(2) No amount greater than actually paid thereafter; and

(3) Any deposit moneys actually paid by the purchaser that were lost as
a result of violation of subsection (b) of this section.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act may not be
construed to affect the application of § 14-117(b) and (c) of the Real Property Article to
a person to whom a water and sewer authority other than the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission has delegated any duty or responsibility.

SECTION 2. 3. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take
effect October 1, 1999.
