Massachusetts Water Usage Agreement

In NSW, a landlord can only ask a tenant to pay water usage charges if: the property is separately metered (or water is delivered by vehicle ), and. the charges are not more than the amount the landlord is billed for by the water supplier, and. the property meets the 'water efficiency' standards.

The average person uses 101.5 gallons of water Per day.

Massachusetts law allows a landlord to charge for water if certain conditions are met, including entering into a written agreement with the tenant regarding payment, and installing submetering equipment and also water conservation devices for all faucets, showerheads, and toilets in the rental.

A landlord can't charge a tenant for water usage unless the water the tenant controls is specifically metered.Fully functioning water conservation devices must be installed by a licensed plumber on all faucets, showerheads, and water closets.

Let's look at your daily per person usage. If you used 24,000 gallons, we'll divide by 3 people = 8,000 gallons per person per month.

Under the Residential Tenancies Act, Clause 46 states 'The tenant shall be responsible for all charges associated with the consumption of services supplied to the premises, including electricity, gas, water and telephone.

The water industry estimates that an average person uses 3,000 gallons of water monthly, so a family of 4 would use 12,000 gallons for bathing, cooking, washing, recreation and watering.

Water used in a 20 minute shower depends on the shower head. If you are using a low flow showerhead, less water will be used, but the pressure will be less. If you use a rain type shower head, more water will be used. On an average, 5L of water is used per minute of shower.
