If you own rental property in Lawrence, Kansas, water submetering is one of the simplest ways to stop eating your tenants’ water costs and bill every unit for what it actually uses. Lawrence is a classic college town shaped almost entirely by the University of Kansas, and its off-campus market runs deep: rental houses and apartment buildings near campus stay in steady demand as one class of students moves out and the next moves in. That turnover is good for occupancy and rough on your water line, because tenants who never get a water bill have no reason to cut back, and when it’s bundled into rent, the excess comes straight out of your margin. True Submeter gives Lawrence property owners a straightforward, affordable way to put an individual water meter on each unit, so every tenant is billed only for what they use. Usage drops, billing disputes disappear, and your net operating income climbs, with most owners recovering their full investment within six months. In a town that resets every August, make sure your water billing is built to keep up.
