Before BLACKBURNE-RIGSBY, Associate Judge, RUIZ, Associate Judge, Retired,*fn1 and NEBEKER, Senior Judge.

RUIZ, Associate Judge, Retired: Euclid Street, L.L.C. (“Euclid Street”) appeals the dismissal of its complaint against the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (“WASA”) seeking declaratory and injunctive relief. The issue presented in this case is whether WASA has the authority to hold the owner of a building responsible for paying a tenant’s delinquent water services account. Because the applicable statute and regulations establish that the obligation to satisfy outstanding water service fees runs with the property where the water was consumed, we conclude that WASA is permitted to bill the owner of a building if a tenant consumes water, is billed appropriately, but fails to pay. We, therefore, affirm the dismissal of appellant’s complaint.
