But why do they suddenly require a "deposit" (for what?) which is roughly 2 years' worth of water supply? I have over 5 years of old bills in a folder, all paid upon receipt of the bill. What risk are they trying avoid?

It just makes no sense, especially given that the deposit request for my humble abode is half that for an entire bar, restaurant and 4-room guesthouse.

Their recent efforts at propping up the existing infrastructure in the face of water shortages or threats of water shortages? Maybe the coffers are running a bit low, affecting the quality of the office tea? It might well be that a responsible adult has addressed internal accounting and realised they’ve been deficient. Didn’t you say that there were planned developments of the land? Maybe their surveys for that have highlighted something?

Given the way that the water system is managed, and quite often abused by building owners with multiple modifications and additions which were probably well outside the scope of the original installation, there’s probably a massive gap in income versus supply.
Annoying as it is, would it not be worth just going to the PPWSA office and asking directly. If it’s a scam, they might just take the money themselves and enjoy some nice tea. If it’s genuine, obviously you could refer it back to the owner of the building, as it’s his headache.

The deposit is for the water meter,

Is that for the whole building or just your meter?

The deposit is for the water meter, not the water supply. I don't know why they have decided to ask for this money now, but it might be because some of the meters are old and are needing replacement, and given the tiny cost of the water for the average apartment, the cost of meter replacement would wipe out 2 years of billings.

This is what the "15mm Watch" means. "Watch" means meter.
