Water Sewer Trash MUST be in owner name?!

[Mike W.]

Hey all! I have a few rentals in Boise area and the local W/S/T company mandate the utility bill be in the owners name. It has been a struggle getting the tenant to pay and is always behind on payment. He pays rent on time but trying to send him that variable bill to pay along with his rent is difficult. I don't want to include a set amount in his rent because they become wasteful. Any suggestions or has anyone heard of this?

Thanks!!
