Who is responsible for paying the account
The property owner is currently responsible for ensuring their water and wastewater account is paid.
Once water meters are eventually installed on all properties in Southern Water's region, landlords will be responsible for fixed costs and renters will pay for the water they use.
If you are a Housing Tasmania tenant you will not need to pay for water and sewerage. The State Government, as your landlord, will cover the cost of water and sewerage.
