I've never paid a water bill my entire life of renting in multiple states, including 5 years in Australia. The owner or the rental agency always pays the water bill.

I'm assuming it has to do with the legality of habitability. Forget the water bill & it gets turned off, no water and the premises is legally uninhabitable. Not the same consequence with unpaid electric or trash.
