No it cannot. Thats why they tend to have large debt collecting departments which work with customers to make payments or take people to court.
This usually depends if the customer falls into the can't pay or won't pay categories. Won't pays get sent to court after being given plenty of opps to pay. Can't pays usually get dealt with by way of a payment plan.
Water companies cannot mess about with the pressure to restrict usage either, well in the uk, in Australia they do.
P.S. I work for Yorkshire Water.
