Water Bill Legal Questions

I am a landlord in Michigan. My property manager, who is a one-man show, is telling me that legally in Michigan, the property owner is responsible for water bills. This brings up the following questions:



1) Is it legal to state in a lease that a tenant is responsible for the water bill?

2) If the water bill is unpaid when a tenant leaves, is it legal to deduct the amount from the security deposit?

3) Can a collection agency legally collect a water bill owed by a tenant?



Thanks in advance for any help on this.
