We have simple water meters that automatically log to a cloud database and generate a water bill directly to the tenant.

Quote from @Mateusz Motyka: Hi everyone,Looking for some guidance on a condo water-damage situation. 

The Pollution Control Board had caught on, and he was being fined $1,000 per day.  

Traditional 3–5 gallon tank heaters are simple and cheap, but they keep water hot constantly, which wastes energy if usage is infrequent.

Hi- Looking for input: Keeping details high-level for privacy. 3–4 bed SFH, ~2,000–2,600 sf, 2000s build, water/preserve outlook, NO private pool, standard HOA (not a resort community).

2) What did the local water department state about if they provide optional water testing?

Once water gets past tile and into the backer, the only “fix” that lasts is tearing it down to the studs and rebuilding with a proper waterproofing system.On the order of renovations:You’re correct.

Water shutoff / reconnection feesIf the tenant was responsible for the water bill and allowed it to be shut off, the reconnection cost is directly tied to their nonpayment.

I'm in the middle of building some Ground Up Duplexes and unfortunately, I've had to push hard to get the city to connect my water taps and sewer taps... some progress has been made!

Currently, if owners want residents to pay water, we bill based on an average of 12 months of bills and review that annually to update the amounts, OR the owner can ask the residents to be added to their bill since water must stay in the owners name.
