Efficient Method To Submeter Water
I am in the process of building a duplex on Panama City Beach, FL. The property is in an unincorporated (Bay County) portion of Panama City Beach with water and sewer being supplied by the City of Panama City Beach. PCB Utilities will only allow one potable water meter per tax parcel at this point. Given that I am building a duplex, only one potable water meter will be servicing the property. All of my other rentals have separate meters with each tenant paying their own utilities directly to the provider. I wanted to consider sub-metering the water. Does anyone have any product or process recommendations. Is it feasible to submeter on a single duplex? Is there a specific process to automate the readings? If the option it is have the meter manually ready each month, I don't know if the extra effort will be worth it vs just trying to build water into the monthly rent. Any recommendations?
