Submetering for Water on New Construction

I need to setup a submeter system for water on a new construction project. There are 2 houses in the project. We ran lines separately, so we're ready to go on that side. I've looked at a couple of options and think I know which product I'm going to buy but wanted to hear from BP folks first.

Anyone done this and have any input?

This is what I'm thinking:

  • service setup through Guardian and they will do the biling
  • pulse output meters installed at street
  • gateway system that has both cell and wifi (assuming buyers have wifi, they can save $10 per month by not using cellular)
  • gateway has app built in for owners to connect and see usage via mobile app
  • water bill paid by HOA and the owners pay the HOA for their individual bills

My goal is to make this as seamless and painless for the buyers. 

@Karen Margrave have you ever done this?
