How quickly are leaks flagged?

The meter reports several times a day, so an unusual rise appears within hours instead of at the end of the month, which prevents the occasional very high bill.

Can NES bill the four units separately?

Yes. With unit-level submetering, NES reads each meter and bills residents in-house, so every unit pays for the water it actually uses.

Quick answer

How does a water usage alert service help a quadplex?

When you own a quadplex, a sudden increase in the water bill is often the first sign of a problem, and it can take nearly a month to discover. With four units, a single stuck flapper can waste thousands of dollars over time. NES MyReads monitors the quadplex's water use daily through a wireless submeter and emails a daily report, so leaks are caught early.

Why monitoring matters across four units

With four units sharing a main line, a leak in one can hide in the total until the bill spikes. Daily monitoring flags the change right away, so maintenance can find the source before it runs up a large, recurring cost.

How MyReads works

1
A 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.
2
Reads 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.
3
A 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.
4
Early 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.
