Separate Metering Water - Triplex - Washington State

[Zach Schwarzmiller]

I will be closing on a Triplex in two weeks and had a question regarding the separation of metered water. Currently the owner is paying the WSG which totals about $1,200-$1,400 every 2 months. This is a large expense for 3 units! Instead of raising rents I am going to convert tenants to paying me back for their water usage. I do not want them to pay their water separately, but for me to pay it all and have separate meters which I can then bill them their share of usage. I had a client tell me Badger Meters does this but he had never used them. Does anyone have experience with doing this and/or recommendations?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
