Afternoon Amit
Being in a small country town we don’t have this issue. However, I am of the same opinion as you. The Dept of Housing and other boards, are legally liable for the water account and should pay accordingly as they are the legal owner of the land. Should the tenant wish to enter into and arrangement, this is a private matter between the two. I would be following your recovery procedures and treat Housing as you would any other ratepayer. Does the Dept want to have the interest waived too? Somehow I gather they would.
Good luck.
Cindy
