Default Dealing with utility overusage by tenant

I manage a 4 unit apartment. The lease says landlord pays for water usage. There is only one water meter for the 4 units.

Over the past year, one tenant is noted to be using a tremendous amount of water, as evidence by observation of other tenants (ie. washing her foyer , daily), and water usage heard through the walls. Tenant likely has a psychological issue. My water bill is going through the roof !

I have spoken to the tenant...and met with denial.

I cannot formally document the usage of one tenant. How do I prove over usage ? Any landlord with this experience ? Any suggestions?

Thank you.
