In sectional title schemes where; separate individual water meters exist, but where these individual meters are not recognised or approved by the local authority concerned i.e. the body corporate continues to be billed for the total water consumption and remains responsible for the resultant charges on the scheme’s single bulk meter, with the individual meters having to be read independently and the relevant charges raised internally and recovered separately from each owner.
Does the body corporate have the right to automatically and in the absence of a suitable Management Rule, which specifically isolates and alters the owners financial obligations in terms of water consumption, to recover amounts contrary to a PQ based recovery?
