There is a line on my new lease that I need some clarification on:

“Tenant must pay for all electric, gas, telephone, water, sewerage and other utility services used in the apartment and arranged for them with the public utility company”

I am fine with the electricity and gas part because I know we have our own separate meters. If there is only 1 water meter for both tenants must the landlord then cover the water bill? Secondly, is there a separate bill for sewerage? If so how much is that monthly?

Thanks.
