I own a duplex in Clermont, FL just outside of Orlando and initially wanted to split water meters between the two units, but the cost and amount of work were higher than expected.

City water with one main at the street and how will they bill. 

We sold a wonderful two unit STR in Depoe Bay in 2024, which generally is a no-go zone but has neighborhoods with specific commercial zoning that allows for vacation rental usages as well as a brand new development of luxury homes that allows STR usages similar to Olivia Beach in nearby Lincoln City. 

Quote from @Aaron Wolman: I would call the companies (gas/water/electric) to get estimates, or an estimator out there.

Hello all,What have you seen re: water meters.

These both have restrictions on membership/guest amenity usage.

In the desert it costs me LESS than $20 for water.

Metron and Southern Water Management are two that we've been talking to.

My suggestion would be to cap your utilities at a certain amount and have Tenants pay anything over that amount.That will help you manage your expenses, and also allow Tenants to gage their usage each month, and make adjustments if they don't want to go over the allotted amount.As far as collection, provide the bill showing any overages and just have them pay for it along with their rent. 

Don't forget to change all your faucet aerators and shower heads to low flow it makes a huge difference as well as far as water usage and saving HOT water.
