More details to this question:
Do they have the right to deny you seeing the water bill from the water company with YOUR charges on it? Do they have the right to send you a plain piece of paper with their letter head on it stating how much money you owe for water without knowing exactly how much water usage you have?

I can only give you a general answer because your questions had different concerns depending on the type of subsidized housing you have and your lease provision. In general shared water meter tenants can request from the landlord a copy of the meter readings/water bill and their breakdown of your proportion.
