Quick answer

What is needed for a water submetering assessment?

NES needs three things: property layout and blueprints to understand the plumbing and place the wireless equipment, historical water usage from past utility bills to analyze consumption and estimate the ROI timeline, and your current billing structure to design a fair, accurate submetering bill. With those, NES confirms feasibility and sends a clear estimate.

What to gather for the assessment

  • Property layout and blueprints, so the team understands the plumbing and where to place wireless repeater equipment
  • Historical water usage from past utility bills, to analyze consumption, find inefficiencies, and estimate the ROI timeline
  • Your current billing structure, so the submetering bill is fair and accurate from day one

What you get back

With those details, the NES team confirms whether submetering is feasible for your property, establishes a usage baseline, and returns a clear, no-obligation estimate of the cost and the expected return. NES services multifamily properties across the country. To start, request the free assessment and have the three items above handy. NES responds within one business day.

Common questions

Get a Water Submetering Assessment

Submetering puts a meter on each unit and bills residents for the water, gas, and electric they actually use. The idea has been around since the 1920s, and today's meters read wirelessly every day, so usage is accurate and leaks show up fast instead of on the next bill.
