Do I have grounds to complain they are not meeting their obligations?
You can complain but it’s not really your strata manager’s job to monitor water usage in your building (and with only six units, they aren’t going to be making too much out of your scheme anyway).
Yes, they may well hit the scheme with extra charges for sending you copies of the water bills. But it’s an issue for a number of reasons so you need to get on top of it. You might start with a mail-out to residents asking if they have any problems with water leaks or have noticed any unusual activity.
Increased water bills could be signs of sub-letting and over-crowding, or even hydroponic drug cultivation. It may be time to have a sniff around and find out what’s going on
