    I don’t know what State/Territory you’re in, and the Tenancy Agreement that you’re quoting from must be an old-style one, but it’s stating that the landlord pays the fixed service charges on the Water Utility Account such as that for the sewerage service, and the tenant pays only for the quantity of water (kL) that they use.

    I can’t explain why you haven’t received a charge from the landlord for your component of the Water Account, but in NSW they’re required to provide tenants with a copy of the Water Utility Account highlighting the ‘usage’ component for which their tenant is responsible.

    If in doubt, then contact your closest tenants’ advocacy group – like Tenants NSW who may also be able to assist you with the carpet issue.
