You should be able to apply for an abandonment on the property with no connection, I don't know the process or cost in Baltimore.

What does that entail? Does it get me out of ownership or just the water bill?

Abandonment of the water connection. Doesn't affect property ownership. Though I don't know Baltimore's rules on this- it occurred to me that there still might be a stormwater fee for impermeable surfaced properties or something. Check DPW website, they'll have guidance on abandonment, or give them a call.

I think it is a storm water fee, but frankly I haven't done anything to address the problem besides complain. I'll check out my options, thanks!

I have a similar situation with no water hookup at all on the separate parcel and I pay $6.70 a month.
