Advise on utilities in house hack - Canada

[Ian Balansag]

Hello,

So finally after just reading forums about RE investing, I finally jumped and do a house hack in Edmonton Alberta. The new single family home will have a legal basement suite which will be done by April 2024. My question is for anyone who is in similar situation in which the utilities is hooked in one meter for the house, how to split the water and electric bill? I am thinking of 70/30 split. Also, does Telus do two connections in one house? I would prefer two routers for privacy purposes.  Also, does short term rental works here in the westside Secord area in edmonton? Thank you.
