Water is a resource that is often overlooked and taken for granted. The water management industry play important roles, such as the provision of automated meter reading, water meter installation, and utility billing, among others. Without these crucial services, drinking water quality would be minimized and society at large would experience harmful effects to their health and safety due to excessive minerals in their drinking water.
The Introduction of Water Submetering
Water submetering is a surprisingly new concept that has only existed since the early 1980s. For the past thirty years or so, water submetering has been used to monitor the water usage of multi-residential buildings that would otherwise be overcharged or undercharged for water consumption. It has become the most common, and the fairest, way of using automated meter reading to track each specific resident’s consumption.
Owners of multi-tenant complexes have been vocal about their support of this system due to its equitability and the fact that considerable financial gain can be acquired by it. Landlords have expressed enthusiasm for automated meter reading, since it allows them more control over water consumption, and over the long term, it also saves them a great deal of money.
Commitment to Fairness and Ethics
Water management requires a lot of skill in a variety of areas, such as the physical labor of installation, but the industry is also becoming increasingly concerned with providing fair ways of monitoring the individual water consumption of residents of multi-residential buildings, such as apartment complexes.
The benefits are numerous for both tenants and landlords. With a submeter system in place, any unusual or unexpected spikes in water consumption can be spotted immediately without wasting water, which is helpful for both your wallet and the environment.
Over time, the cost of wasted water can be extremely devastating to landlords and tenants alike. Water submetering offers an alternative. It is undeniably a much fairer system, and the best part is that the cost of installing the meter itself will quickly pay for itself several times over. More and more landlords are switching to water submetering to save time and money on water consumption at their multi-tenant housing complexes.
