What is Water Sub-Metering?
Water sub-metering measures individual unit water consumption instead of relying on a single master meter for an entire property. Sub-meters track the individual usage of each unit. The CSM team handles the reading, billing, and collecting for you. We collect meter data, calculate each unit’s water cost, and deliver professional easy to read billing statements.

Customer Testimonials
After installing Sub-Meters, the Association saved over 40% in water bills. Not only did this help conserve water, but the water district also took notice and appreciated all the efforts. Note, this was done 9 years ago and conservation is still going strong! The Board and management had the vision for water conservation even then!
How Much Can You Save From Sub-Metering?
Sub-metering is one of those choices that requires an initial upfront investment but pays you back over time. Unlike an energy-efficient appliance, the sub-meter itself is not a utility saver. However, its inclusion at a property changes tenant behavior, resulting in money savings over time. When users see how much they save by making wise decisions for water consumption, they’re eager to try to save even more. In turn, property owners are no longer on the hook to make up the difference between tenants’ flat rate charges and what is used. While total savings will depend on the size of the property and how many units there are, the potential utility consumption savings can be anywhere from 5% to as much as 20%.
