How Submetering Works
Utility submetering is the process of allocating utility costs to individual residents in multi-unit rental properties. Costs are allocated on the basis of actual use as measured by a submeter, which is installed in each unit. Each month the meter is read via a wireless network, radio read, or manual remote touch pad. Meter data is collected and processed with the current local municipality's rates. Residents receive a monthly invoice via the mail or e-bill with their calculated portion of the utility usage used.
Submetering is a process where individual water meters, gas meters, or electric meters are installed in each apartment and linked through a special interface. Advanced software allows WaterWatch to collect and interpret usage information at our corporate office. WaterWatch bills and collects resident's payments, and reimburses the property owner for the resident's usage. This process is fast and accurate.
