My building has a privately managed water supply
Water in buildings, particularly large apartment blocks, will sometimes be handled privately by the property management rather than by a public supplier. In this case, no registration should be necessary as this is the responsibility of the property owner. You should be billed for water usage each month, either as a separate bill delivered monthly to you or as part of an inclusive services bill.
