Since most tenants of multi-family and combined commercial properties don't pay
a direct water bill, they have little financial incentive to conserve water. Sub-metering
and billing of tenants could provide an enormous untapped conservation opportunity.
Individual metering and consumption based water billing is a proven utility conservation
technique, reducing overall consumption in single family homes by up to thirty percent.
For many large urban water systems with significant multi-family and
commercial master metered properties, the water demand reduction potential of sub-metering
and billing each tenant is far too large to be ignored. Includes 5 references, figures.
