Submetering Water in Ohio

[Chase Clemens]

Hey BP Nation,

I am a young investor who has been hunting for my first property to househack in the Cincinnati area, and I am happy to report that I have a duplex under contract!! I am very excited to get started and start getting invaluable firsthand experience self-managing my property. 

My questions today is in regards to submetering water in my duplex. Currently there is only one water heater and one water meter. From what I have seen looking at other duplexes who have split utilities, I always see a second water meter and water heater. Does anyone have experience submetering their water in Ohio? Any recommendations on where I should start? Any help is appreciated in advance!

@Chase Clemens We use Guardian...probably best to connect with them directly...they seem to be getting more selective with what properties they take on...

As an alternative, check with the city...maybe they would be willing to sell you an extra meter if you install it...

Good luck
