Three NES properties
What these three properties did.
337-unit apartment community
36%
Water use fell 36% after submeters went in.
The average cost per unit dropped from $84.72 a month to $54.22, and the community saved roughly 2,000 gallons per unit. Residents cut back once they were paying for their own water instead of splitting a master-meter bill.
140-home community, New Mexico
$26,400 → $264
The owner's annual water and sewer cost went to $264.
Before submetering, the owner absorbed $26,400 a year in water and sewer on the master meter. After NES metered each home and billed residents for what they used, the owner's own annual cost came to $264.
130-home park, Texas
$113K
A $120,000 utility bill turned into annual revenue.
Water and sewer ran $120,000 a year on the master meter. After submetering, the park's cost dropped to $6,600 and it gained more than $113,000 in annual revenue.
Data
Where these numbers come from.
Figures come from NES property records. Client names withheld at their request. Results depend on local utility rates, unit mix, and how much water a property was losing before, so your property will not match these line for line. Every NES proposal includes a recovery model built on your own master-meter data, not industry averages.

Send us your master-meter bills and unit counts. A specialist replies within one business day, and your full recovery model arrives as an executive PDF within five. No obligation. It works the same for an 80-unit community or a 20,000-unit portfolio.
Yes. Send us 12 months of master-meter bills and unit counts. NES returns a recovery model showing projected recovery, payback timing, and Y1 / Y3 / Y5 net dollars within one business day. Free, with no obligation.
Higher water rates plus year-round irrigation drive faster payback. Sun Belt communities with master-meter water + sewer above $55 / unit / month often see 6 to 9 month payback.
RUBS typically recovers 70 to 85% of master meter cost depending on formula and disclosure rules. Submetering routinely clears 90%+. Many owners start with RUBS for fast wins, then convert to submetering in a later capex cycle.
