Water Company question

Posts: 44 Forumite
I have received a letter from my local water company. The water bill is in joint names and because of this they are saying all the £350 debt is still owed.
I went B/R in July so I naturally assumed that half the debt should be written off. If this is so does that apply to council tax arrears as well?
Thank you
