Splitting the water on a 6-plex

[Daniel Zapata]

I have a 6-plex in Sacramento and I want to bill tenants for their own water usage. The water goes from the meter into a water closet where it then splits into each of the 6 units. I called the water company and they didn't have any suggestions. I have found a couple of devices which seem to do the job:

Installing multiple meters is a non-starter due to the price. 

How have you split the water billing for tenants? Do you have any devices you have used to read the usage for each tenant.
