Quote from @Blake Alan Quarrie: Has anyone else noticed a significant increase in their Chicago water bill recently?

So I give the bill to my PM and they bill the tenant and they reimburses me.

But to date, I've just set my rents at a rate that accounts for me having to pay the water bill - and informed the residents that each year I'll increase the rent based upon my expenses (including water), so keeping the bill down helps me to help them.But one problem this could cause is if increasing the rent to cover the water bill then places your rent above the market rate.
