I have seen so much conflicting advice about whether tenants pay a water bill in its entirety, or just the usage.  I have tried the Tenant's Union of Vic, but the line has been engaged all day, not even a voicemail.  My landlord (we have no formal lease) recently asked me to pay my share of a water bill (I was only living there for part of the quarter that the bill covered).  After I paid it, i realised that I had paid not just the water usage, but the whole bill.  I am in a flat which has its own meter, I think.  I have never paid for anything except water usage in a rental property.  Thank you!  PS If it wasn't clear, I am in melbourne.
