Setting maximum water bill paid in lease

[Troy B.]

In my area the water/sewage is billed to the landlord even if the meters are split and is ultimately the responsibility of the property owner. I wanted to include the water/sewage in the rent to avoid any issues but I don't want to be stuck with a huge bill if they abuse it.

Is it legal to include a statement in new leases that there is a maximum that will be paid by the landlord and anything over that will be billed to the tenant?
