If you are behind on your bill, then yes, they can shut off your water. Having an infant in the household does not give someone the right to not pay water, or for that matter, heat, electricity, rent, the mortgage, etc. Any service you don't pay can be cut off, and you could also be evicted if you fall behing on the rent, regardless of who is in your household.
