submetering water in DC

Can anyone share their experiences working with a submetering water service in DC?  Or does anyone have ideas on how to split the water bill?  

I'm rehabbing a two-unit multifamily and found the cost to split the water line to be too costly.  I've now got two submeters installed on the side of the house.  

Thanks in advance for your replies.

For my last two projects, where I converted a single family into two condos, I was told by several submetering service companies in DC that they typically don't handle properties with only two units. In fact, I was unable to find any that would even do it. Ultimately, I ended up doing what you did and had two submeters installed and incorporated each unit's responsibility for their portion of the monthly bill into the Condo Docs.
