Don't worry about your first reply, I've been know to stick my foot in my mouth on may occasions, usually after to much alcohol though, JK, not really!

These would most likely be BTU meters.I just finished building a 315 unit project in Boston and we actually put a water submeter in every unit to measure their water consumption. 

If this is the case,  remove any vinly top layers then use two coats of BIN alcohol based shellac.  

I mean it was because of the “unsafe condition” of the rental dwelling and not the massive quantities of alcohol they imbibed that was the cause, right? 

However R/E transactions in the Philippines was always done personally because upon purchase they are subject to consumption tax of 12% if purchased by a corporation (which is stupid).Not sure how valuable this information is to you because I've since wound down the HK company.

Is pot somehow worse than alcohol?    

Depending on your size of operation, this time consumption can really start to add up.  

"Risk taking generates growth by moving resources to enterprises which create future jobs and consumption opportunities.Without stable and transparent economic roles that allow and encourage a reasonable return for risk taking, growth will not occur, as even wrong entrepreneurs will refuse to take risk.Low interest rates do not encourage creative risk taking, but create just more highly leveraged investments in low risk instruments.

The problem persisted, so we  pressure tested all the lines in the house (found two leaky valves - under 100 PSI - but nothing to explain the increased water consumption).Then we found the cause - a disgruntled tenant (who was moving at the end of his lease) who would come home in the evening and leave the bathtub spigot running for an extended period of time (another tenant ratted him out as they were tired of all our intrusions while looking for the problem).
