Duplex Water Usage Alert Service
Last reviewed September 2026NES Editorial, checked by the Billing & Compliance team
With only two units, one running toilet can dominate a duplex water bill. MyReads watches usage daily so you catch it the same day.
How does a water usage alert service help a duplex?
For a duplex owner, a sudden rise in the water bill usually points to a hidden leak that is hard to pinpoint. With only two units, a single stuck flapper can swing the whole bill. NES MyReads monitors the duplex's water use daily through a wireless submeter and emails a daily report, so leaks are caught early instead of after a costly month.
Why it matters for a two-unit property
In a duplex, there is no large pool of units to absorb a leak, so one problem moves the bill right away. Inspections do not always reveal the source, and even a minor issue like a stuck flapper adds up. Daily monitoring is the reliable way to stay ahead of it.
How MyReads works
- 1A wireless submeter on your main line
NES installs a wireless submeter on the property's main water line, or wherever you want usage watched. The meter is preconfigured for your property, and you can use as few or as many as you need.
- 2Reads several times a day
The meter reports usage to the NES platform several times a day, so a problem shows up within hours instead of on next month's bill.
- 3A daily usage report by email
You and your team get a daily email report of water usage, and you can review it weekly, monthly, or annually to spot trends.
- 4Early warning on a spike
When usage jumps, that is usually the first sign of a running toilet or a hidden leak. Catching it early prevents a high bill and water damage.
