Water Sub-Metering MHP in PA

Brian Vick

Posted
Recently took over a Small Mobile Home park in PA. It is already Sub metered. Park has one master meter.
Water authority Bills the Master Meter $60 for the 1st 1000 gal. then $25 per additional 1000 gal.

PA law allows for Sub-metering. Further says the Land Lord is not allowed to make a profit. But Also states that fees are allowed as long as the amount does not exceed that
of which a tenant would receive had they been serviced directly by the
utility company

The Previous owners Billed each Mobile home $60 for the 1st 1000 gal. then $25 per additional 1000 gal. Which this is exactly what the water authority would bill each mobile home if they were each billed by the authority.

If I understand this this it allowable by what the law allows, but do the math, the Park owner then also makes a small profit.

Thoughts?
