Landlord not sending utility bills.?

I have been living in the same duplex since Aug. 1st. My roommate and I are responsible for paying the electricity bill for our unit on our own account, but the other utility bills are sent to the landlord who then is supposed to forward them to us and the people in the other unit every month. The cost of the utilities is supposed to be split between the two units equally (which is pretty ridiculous since we are never home so we're paying for a lot of their usage). We didn't receive our first bill until just before Thanksgiving and we received it in person because the landlord was in town; we received three months of utility bills at once! Since we're both college students we kind of forgot about the fact that we weren't receiving bills since we're really busy, but we haven't received a bill since (that's six months of bills!-- and winter time bills at that). I called my landlord the other day and left a message saying that this was getting ridiculous and that we need to be getting bills regularly and he hasn't responded. Is there any way that I can remedy this situation? I'm getting paranoid that somehow I'm going to get an eviction letter or something equally ridiculous for not paying bills that I'm not receiving.
