First of all rather than going legally you should serve him/her a legal notice and in that notice you can write that either pay the money or face legal action which will be at your own risk. After that if he/she fails to give you a satisfactory reply then you can anytime file a complaint in writing to the police station according to your jurisdiction.

you should send. legal Notice to pay the water bill, which is pending by the previous owner,give them time ie 15 days clear this Bill,if the discharge within 15 days , then it's okay, mostly in case they paid and discharged obligation. if they don't pay ,you can file complaint before court.

I would advise You to engage a lawyer and initiate Legal action by issuing a legal notice followed by a suit for mandatory injunction there by directing the previous owner to pay the said outstanding water bill. You may connect
