Check with each utility to confirm you can have the additional accounts in a tenant's name.In our North East Pennsylvania location, the water companies will allow a separate meter, HOWEVER, they require a separate water main from the street hookup to the additional house meter so they may control each meter on the property independently of the other(s) without entering the dwelling.
