This is production.When you buy personal housing, you're helping your own situation and you might benefit from appreciation, but this is fundamentally an act of consumption, not production. 

The house meter is for consumption not specific to the individual units...such as exterior lights, power to the washer and dryer, sprinkler system, outside hosebib etc...If existing water lines are behind walls, under slab, it is going to be impossible.Also, if you separate electric but not water, and your water heater is electric, make sure you are not supplying hot water to unit B on a branch of a line powered by unit A's electric.

Marcus, good deal, when I post comments they are not all directed at the OP, many are for general consumption.

In making the asset class available and open for public consumption concepts surely get dumbed down.

Blockbuster’s business model was essentially annihilated by new media consumption.

To overcome this, yet still keep the tenants accountable for utilities consumption, we have developed a Utilities Budget Agreement.

Some municipalities are giving rebates because it reduces overall water consumption when people are directly responsible for paying what they use. makes sense!

Only improvements done close to selling, and done prudently, and with generally accepted taste - can be relied on to return anything.The kitchen we just put in was CONSUMPTION, by the time we sell, it will be a 20 year old kitchen, we will get none of it back.

Third, I stopped spending money on consumption (anything that is not expected to grow in value).

They can't tell you a dollar amount but they will tell you the Ccfs (consumption); 1 CCf=748 gallons.
