Mississippi Submetering

In the state of Mississippi an apartment house owner, manufactured home community owner or condominium manager may provide for submetering of each dwelling unit or rental unit for the measurement of the quantity of water consumed by the occupants of the unit. If submetering is utilized, tenants may be charged separately for water and wastewater services on a pass through allocated basis for charges incurred by the customer. Any apartment house owner, manufactured home community owner or condominium manager utilizing submetering pursuant to this section shall disclose the submetering to each tenant and obtain from the tenant an acknowledgment of the submetering in a written document. All installed submeters must meet the American Water Works Association standards for accuracy. At Multifamily Utility we work with local, state and national agencies to ensure every meter we install is code compliant. We also work with industry leading manufactures which enables us to design and install submetering systems for any situation. Some of the manufactures we work with include Wellspring, Elster, American Meter, Master Meter, IMS and Neptune. Submetering is without a doubt one of the best ways for property owners, managers and developers to promote conservation among tenants. It is also a great way to stabilize rental payments, reduce administrative work, improve cash flow and reduce operating costs.
