How to Transfer utilities

For a multifamily, when a property says owner pays sewer, trash, water, etc.

Is there a way to get those utilities transferred into the tenant names so I wouldn't be responsible for paying a variable and potentially expensive cost?

Are there legal issues? 

Why would multifamily units have the owner paying for those utilities in the 1st place?

How can you find out what those costs are per month? Call utility companies and ask? I'm guessing they can't tell you.
