@Inno Ekeh Just a heads up, many water utility companies in Sacramento have started, or are trending towards, billing by usage. If your water meters aren’t already separated out, many of these utility companies are willing to install water meters for free as part of the transition over to this billing format. Might be a nice way to build in future savings. Sounds like you have a good deal here - congrats and best of luck moving forward!
