is water included in home rent?

I have rented homes about 20 different times over the years and have NEVER had one in which all utilities were included, although there was one duplex in a foreign country that was "heat and hot water included." It is generally all negotiable with (or standardized by) the landlord.

You should expect to pay for fuel (gas or oil), electricity, cable/internet/phone, water/sewer, renter's insurance, and possibly fire district fees and neighborhood association fees (in some communities).

Some places include trash collection and sewer connection in the landlord's property taxes and they pass it along to you as part of the rent.

Also, FYI, there are many apartments that have separate meters for gas or oil heating on each apartment, and the tenants would be individually billed for their usage.

Every situation is different. Most houses in this area either come as utilities included (Gas, electric, water, sewer included and things like garbage extra) Or not included (you pay for everything).

Between you and the person you want to rent from.

It's whatever utilities the LL chooses to include in the rent.

I only provide trash pick up for my tenants since that cost is part of my annual property taxes. My tenants pay for their own water, power, and phone service

Some yes, some no. Water most likely yes, other utilities, often no in a house.
