The city doesn't care so long as the water bill gets paid. The properties must have been owned by the same person at one time, in order to have only 1 meter. Is this legitimate? How is your lease worded? Was the "shared" water meter disclosed, if you were expected to pay the water bill? If the landlord pays the water bill, why would you care?
