How to get tenants to pay for utilities?

How do you get tenants to pay for the utilities? Do they get a bill from the utility companies directly, and if so, how do you set that up? If not, do you personally bill them for the cost each month in addition to rent? How do you get them to pay up, and how do you get them to share the utilities if there are multiple tenants in your property?
