Tenant Behind On Water Bill

[Kyle L.]

A rental property that I own is in an area where the water bill has to be in the owner's name. The bill goes to the management company. However, in the past year, the tenant has gotten behind on paying the water bill (through the management company). The management company says there is not much they can do other than keep asking them to pay. Any suggestion on how I don't get stuck with the water bill?
