If your rental agreement is still valid, landlord cannot make you separately pay for water (your rent amount probably has some amount built into it to cover your portion of water charges). However, if you and the landlord modify the rental agreement, then you can pay for water separately. You should consult your own lawyer to help you protect your legal rights.
