Cost to add a separate meter for electricity, water and gas

[John D.]

I am making a bid on a property in Tracy which has an in-law unit in the back. Does you know approx what it would cost to add a separate meter for electricity, water and gas since now it is part of the main house and I want to rent out the in-law unit separately.

That might be a process to get that done. Check with your local planning authority to see if the suite can get its own address. Then apply for the permits. Schedule PGnE and an electrician/plumber. I would advise keeping the water bill as one to save money, just charge each tenant 50% of the bill. Just a guess for permitting and the contractor, 3-4K?
