Will you have on premise consumption?   

It may seem like a small step but it can have a real impact on your overall consumption.

In reality this is 20% consumption 80% investment so I need to like the place/area. 

But from a residents POV we all still have to live so we continue as usual just taking precautions and measures to ensure our families are following safety procedures using filters and bottled water for consumption as much as possible. 

- wages start to increase, squeezing employers, and increasing prices - after a long cycle of easing credit and fierce competition among financial institutions for lending business, and consumers & investors stretching themselves more, credit terms start to tighten again - the Federal Reserve increases interest rates, increasing the cost of borrowing - usually, oil/energy prices increase with increased US & global consumption, increasing costs across industries- consumers got used to the wind at their back and got used to it.

Commodity prices and their relationship to consumption is probably more than anyone wants to go into here.

Options to Sub-meter Water in a Multi-family buildingHello,The primary reason why an owner sub-meters their Multi-family property: Based on our 20 + years of sub metering experience throughout the US, …Unlike RUBs (charging water/sewer based on hot water ratio consumption, occupants, fixtures or size of the home) were the conservation factor is often short lived ; The tenants’ water/sewer usage will drop by 25 to 35% when the tenants are responsible for their own water use; As an owner you will be promoting water conservation and working with your residents to mitigate future rental increases, as the water/sewer costs are no longer a rental component.We’re here to answer your water sub-metering questions.

Its reporting features are adequate (and under improvement with the new drill-down capability they say they'll be launching soon), and if I were to be able to sync into QuickBooks, that would just add one more step and result in additional time-consumption.

If I were going to let rent slip to justify the new meters, I would take into account a sub metered average and not just divide out my current bill, as consumption will go down on water, electric and gas.

You can say you will just bill back to the residents, but that's not always feasible in some markets and we know that total water consumption decreases 30+% when residents are responsible for actual amount used not just a fixed bill back.
