NES is a submetering and RUBS billing company serving Orlando, Florida. NES has been privately owned since 1968 and serves more than 43 states. We install nonproprietary meters that you own, read them daily with leak alerts, pay the master-meter bill, and bill your residents. Accounts receivable and resident questions are handled by our in-house bilingual team. Water comes from Orange County Utilities and the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), with electricity from OUC or Duke Energy. RUBS is allowed in most of Florida and submetering is allowed statewide. The exceptions are Miami-Dade County and the City of Fort Myers, which prohibit water RUBS and require billing on actual submeters. NES handles submetering or RUBS billing and tracks the local rules so your property stays compliant.

The short version for Florida: RUBS is allowed in most of the state and submetering is allowed statewide, though Miami-Dade County and the City of Fort Myers require actual submeters for water billing. NES tracks the state and local requirements, handles registrations and disclosures, and keeps audit-ready billing records. Rules change, so we verify the current requirements for your exact address before billing starts.
