To be totally legal, pay the water bill and deduct that same amount from your rent.

What's in the lease is what counts, not what you have agreed to verbally. But if you own the house and the tenant is supposed to pay but doesn't, you're stuck for it.

If your lease specifically states that "he" (landlord?) pays for the water, you can complain to your local housing authority or even take "him" to court.

If the lease does not indicate you are responsible or if it say that he is then you need will need to file a complaint against him.
