Even if your could...do not ever shut off any utility.

This is called "constructive eviction" and the judge will hit you with everything he can!!! You could find yourself owing the tenant thousands in damages! Wow..do not ever do it.

Add the amount to the rent. Then, when they fail to pay it...evict for non payment. Go to court. Get a judge to order the eviction.

And..do not let this happen again. Include the water bill in the rent.
And do not let the situation drag on. Bad situations never get worse by ignoring them
