Submetering gives each tenant their own water meter so the bill reflects actual use instead of a square-footage split. It is the fairest way to bill and the best way to find waste.
The setup
A submeter is installed on each unit's supply line, downstream of the building's master meter, and read separately.
The benefit
Tenants who pay for their own water use less, and leaks get found faster because the waste shows up on someone's bill.
The retrofit
Submetering an older building depends on the plumbing layout — a manifold or a common riser changes how easily the meters go in.
The rules
In Sherman, local regulations govern how submetering and billing can be done, so the setup must follow the utility's requirements.
The retrofit
Whether a building can be submetered cleanly depends on the plumbing layout. A manifold makes it easy, while a common riser does not.
