Submetering

Utility submetering is a cost effective method of passing the monthly utility expense from the landlord to the resident. Most people are not aware that the average American uses between 80-100 gallons of water per day. By allowing the residents to be financially responsible for their usage, we typically see an immediate reduction in consumption…sometimes as much as 35%. Submetering electric and natural gas usage also produces impressive reductions in consumption.

In addition to the environmental benefits that result from conservation, there is also an economic advantage to the owners of the community. Without the increasing cost of utilities, some owners have elected to reduce annual rent increases or even use the additional capital for improvements at the communities.

The environmental and economic benefits of utility submetering clearly outline the advantages for this type of service. Residents can reduce their own utility costs by simply following some sound Conservation Tips found here and on the backside of their monthly invoice. To simplify the utility payment process, residents are provided Account Access to view their accounts and make online credit card payments.
