I don't think I could recoup this cost by simply raising the rents, I'd rather have each unit on a separate meter.

I said I wouldn't be since the duplex has all separate meters for each unit for all utilities.

Once they call to discontinue service, the utility company should revert the meter back into the landlords name.

I always leave the gas and electric on and turn the water off at the meter to prevent a catastrophe.

Value add: We look for ways to add value to the property, such as a laundry room/machines (electronic, no cash), vending, adding water metering under our new leases, etc.If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Polaris and Leviton both have a variety of meters to meet needs, some with cloud storage, or direct read, ranging from around $300 and up.

Should I keep paying for water bill or should split the meters with the town?.

It has 2 separate meters as well.

We have added sites to our park in AL (septic tanks, water/water meter, electricity).
