What Are Some Benefits Of Water Submetering?

  

We recently did a water submetering here at Shady Pines Community. And we understand your concerns and worries. So, we'll be sharing with you some benefits of water submetering and how it will impact you and the whole community.

1. Fair And Factual Billing

With the new submeter installed in your mobile home, you will be responsible for your own water usage and will be aware of the costs.

You will get fair pricing on your own water usage instead of using cost-sharing pricing. Other residents of the park are not paying for a neighbor’s irresponsible water usage.

Paying water bills will be easier since the bill is calculated based on his or her water consumption. And including water and sewer bills in rent charges ensures a more transparent and straightforward payment process, allowing you to better understand your overall living expenses.

2. Insights On Water Usage

Gaining insights into your consumption levels, you will able to see how your behavior impacts upon the utility bills. Any sustainability efforts you'll make will become apparent in the water consumption data.

When you know what your water is truly costing you – you use less. You waste less! And you help preserve water. You watch your faucets, drains, and hoses for leakage more than ever. Conservation becomes primary in every resident’s approach to water usage. 

 These small measures really add up to the big picture on your water bill every month.

3. Reduce Water Usage

Submetering is an ideal way to identify waste and inefficiency. Only once we have identified areas of inefficiency, we can target this water usage and consumption – and lessen our impact on the environment.

If you  know how much water you use, then you can reduce your consumption.  At the same time, submetering gives you a responsibility to watch your own bill. You can monitor your own use and adjust how you want.

4. Address Minor Problems

Water submetering lets you pinpoint leaks or a drain on resources, so you can take care of problems before they become crises, costing thousands of dollars. 

Water problems will be easily addressed before they become major repairs because sub-metering lets you know when there’s a constant drip before it grows to a drop or a disaster. You eliminate water waste, which saves that precious resource.

5. Greener Community

With all the water shortages and environmental problems we face nowadays, water conservation is vital. With the help of water sub-meters, you will be aware of your consumption and therefore find ways on how they can cut down your utility expenses while saving water at the same time.

Water is a diminishing resource. With sub-metering, you preserve more of it. That’s simple eco- wisdom. And awareness of consumption levels can lead to less usage, which is one way to reduce your carbon footprint.

And with the wastewater treated from the sewage, this helps in waste reduction, maintaining a clean and usable water, and the energy production among other benefits of this modern treatment process. 

Technological advancements in meters and their reading systems now allows us to Identify resident's water usage, pinpoint leaks in individual homes - notifying homeowners, allowing a further reduction in the resident’s individual bill. 

Evidence show that by submetering, you'll reduce water consumption by up to 15% to 30%. Primary contributors to reduced water consumption are the identification of leaks in homes and in the park’s infrastructure, plus the conservation efforts of the residents and homeowners who are now directly responsible for individual water usage and cost.

Adhering to regulatory standards and requirements often necessitates a more structured approach to billing, making it essential to include utility costs in rent charges. In addition, this will make our community more sustainable, ensuring its long-term viability and continued availability of services.
