A tenant here at 250 Frederick just messaged me and claimed that another resident told them that the landlord has requested that they start paying extra for water in addition to paying extra for hydro.

Previously, the leases in this building were 'all inclusive', however the new owner has started pressuring tenants into paying extra for hydro beyond what they are obligated to by their leases. For these leases, the cost of hydro is supposed to be already be accounted for by the previously agreed upon rate specified in their contracts.
