Anyone Know Of Any Third Party Water Sub Metering Companies?

[Scott Johnson]

Hey, BP!

I spoke with the local utility company about an 8-unit property I'm analyzing. The water is master metered and I'm looking at sub-metering it out. They laid out two options for me:

1) Have separate meters for each unit tapped into the easement at the front of the property. (The usual and costly option)

2) Have a third party place meters on the lines that go to each unit and divide the bill/charge you each month (with a fee of course :P).

Does anyone know of any third-party metering companies (if that's even what they're called) they can refer me to? This is a new concept to me. 

Thanks in advance for any help!
