I lived in a condo townhouse in Ottawa for years and the water was also included in the monthly condo fees. That's the problem, if you're not on top of things, 'you don't see it' but our fees escalated every year in large part due to water usage. There was one water meter installed for every block of condo units which consisted of mainly 5 units per block. I was in a block of 3. Everytime there was a suggestion to install individual water meters, there was little to no interest. What you can't see can often hurt you, or your pocket book. In any case, pocket book or no, wasting a basic need for life such as water is never a good thing.
