QUESTION
Need advice on sharing capital costs of borewell in an apartment complex

Owners in my apartment complex are asking to chip in for maintenance on a sq. ft. basis. For borewell drilling also (a capital expense), they want to share costs on sq. ft. basis. This would result in the larger households (square feet wise) paying more than the smaller ones. I feel that the capital costs should be shared on a equal share basis as the drilling undertaking will be same irrespective of apartment size.

Do share your thoughts on the matter? Examples of such situations and their remedies will prove helpful!
