Dealing with joint water and sewer bills

[Michelle Tucker]

Seeking advice- We just started renting out a duplex and the tenants are responsible for utilities- Including water and sewer. There is no way to assign these accounts to the tenants directly so -the water and sewer will remain in our name - Any advice on how to appropriately charge back to the two tenants in a equitable fashion?

One tenant is a family of 5 in a 4 bed and one tenant is a single person in a 2 bed.

Appreciate any methodology that has worked for anyone with a similar situation? The prior owner used the duplex for her business so she had no precedent for this-

Thank you in advance!

i am far from an expert on this but i think you can buy meters and then put the main line to the meter and then seperate lines from there.  so not offical water company stats but you will then get a % of who used what sorry i dont have ore unfo
