i have done some research regarding this topic and here is what i have found out. Property owners are obligated to pay for water, sewage and waste management as mandated by city and county laws. They pay taxes for these utilities and are also the customers of records with regard to water sewage and waste management. Here is a link to an article that can give every one a little more clarity regarding this situation California Utility Billing Rights | Rent Manager Blog

Problem is, no individual unit has any motivation to conserve water usage.
Same identical issue here. The HOA, at times, attempts to lower water pressure on each building to "lower consumption" (or force you to take longer showers). Typically a few weeks later, they turn it back up after a barrage of complaints from owners/tenants.

Got notified this week that our complex is going to start charging renters for water, sewer and trash, using outside company that monitors the use and bills the complex for it. It's my understanding that the water bill will be divided up equally based on 100% Factored Occupancy basis (less 5% for common area deduction). I take that to mean that, for example, if there are 200 units, the bill would be divided equally by 200. This doesn't seem fair because obviously you could have a single person not using as much water as say a family of 4. Have any of you had any experience with this and does this seem fair (or even legal)?



Thanks
