If you own rental property in Athens, Georgia, water submetering is one of the easiest ways to stop eating your tenants’ water bills and charge each one for what they actually use. Athens lives and dies by the University of Georgia, and the off-campus market reflects it: a deep, year-round supply of student renters spread across multifamily houses and apartment communities that stay full through every semester. The catch is that student tenants who don’t pay for water rarely think about it, so usage runs high and unpredictable, and when water is rolled into the rent, you swallow every gallon of the difference. True Submeter gives Athens property owners a clean, affordable way to put an individual water meter on each unit, so every tenant is billed only for their own use. Usage falls, billing disputes dry up, and your net operating income rises, with most owners recouping their full investment within six months. In a town this tied to the university calendar, make sure your water billing is just as buttoned up.
