Water Submetering in Washington State

Does anyone have experience using a specific company/product to submeter their properties in WA? I have a duplex in Puyallup that has the electric submetered but not the water. I do not want to charge a flat fee to both sides on the chance of avoiding future disputes between people.

@Kirsten Crotts, you can ask a plumber to do that, and get a permit from the City and the City can install a second meter. 

Another option is to use some other solutions like what you can find on (submeter solutions dot com). Note that some of these options require a monthly data plan to keep the service. 

Option three, keep it as it is right now :)

@Kirsten Crotts You will need to start with the who ever control your water (city/county/PUD). They get to control where you put it and how its installed. Will need specific permits for this. Once you figure that out then any plumber can do. Its just finding one that can fit you in their schedule.
