Hi there
I may not have stated the current situation clearly enough.
The water consumption measured by the two water meters that service 9 lots (the other 10 lots have their own meters) is charged to and paid by the O/C.
Over the past 30 years the common meters’ water usage was subsequently charged (in equal proportions) to the 9 lot owners. This charge was calculated, based on the actual water usage, and processed by the then Strata Manager by way of special levy and levy notices issued to the 9 lot owners.
The new Strata Manager is not prepared to recover water usage charges without a by-law being in place stipulating recovery based on lot entitlements.
