Any tenant who visits a potential rental unit where any utility is shared by more than one unit but the tenant is expected to pay a shared portion of the total bill should continue on down the road and look for another place to stay.
Before I purchased the multi-family house that I own, I visited approximately 10 properties in Bristol. All but one had separate meters for all utilities in all dwellings. All were built long before 1970. I would not have purchased the one that I saw that had a shared meter because I assumed I would not be able to rent it to anyone.
I'll say it again: The people who use the water should pay for the water.
