duplex water meters
This question goes out to all multifamily owners/landlords in Columbus, Ohio. Is it a normal thing for duplexes to have a single water meter coming in from the city? Where the water is in the owner's name and the tenants pay the owner(sub-metering). I was under the impression that some duplexes were plumbed separately. Can you please help a newbie out!? Thanks in advance.

In my experience most of the time here in Columbus Ohio there is one main water line and one meter at the duplex. The first thing I suggest to clients is to deliver a 30 day notice that the water will be billed 50/50 each quarter. This creates shared fate and each side watches their water consumption closely because they are both paying for it.
Please let me know if I can help in any way.
