Water Submeter in Columbus Ohio
Hello Everyone,
I own a multifamily in Columbus Ohio. The water bills are a big cost to me. I am thinking about installing submeters for the property. Anyone had any experiences/recommendations/advises in this regard? Thanks in advance!

I had a complex that was on one bill. It was a nightmare to try to charge tenants because so many just used excess water all of the time...like leaving the hose running overnight on a driveway. I put meters in and it changed their behavior. I could now charge them for their fair share and they stopped wasting the resource. It also made the property much more valuable when I put it for sale. I recommend that you do it.
