Submetering

Water

Water submetering is based on the concept of measuring the actual cost of water consumed in an individual apartment. The water submeters are installed on the water lines and are read by a remote wireless communication system. SSI simply reads the consumption monthly or as necessary and generates a water bill to the residents based on actual gallons used and the rates charged to the community by the utility company. Residents may either make payments on-line or send a check or money order with the remittance portion of their monthly invoice. Landlords are then reimbursed for their portion of what was collected by SSI.

Once residents become financially responsible for their own consumption, the overall usage in an entire community will be reduced by an average of 35%. In order to assist residents in controlling the water consumption, we have provided some conservation tips that will assist in the ongoing conservation effort.
