...in foreclosure, when am i not responsible for the house anymore? the sewer company says we have to pay until the house is sold because they can't turn it off, but everything else is turned off...kind of hard to flush the toilet with no water!!

So long as you're still the owner--even in bankruptcy, even facing foreclosure--you're responsible. I'm not a lawyer (check with a lawyer), but you're responsible until the deed is transferred. You may want to check with the city to verify what the sewer company's saying, but it probably is correct; for safety reasons, it may be prohibited from stopping service.

If you are in bankruptcy, tell your attorney if the water/sewer/electrictiy/any other utilities are shut off after you filed bankruptcy. The court should sanction the utility provider for that. Also, make sure your attonrey notifies the utility providers about the bankruptcy.
