If you own rental property in Champaign, Illinois, water submetering is one of the fastest ways to stop covering your tenants’ water and bill each unit for exactly what it uses. Champaign and neighboring Urbana revolve around the University of Illinois, and the result is one of the largest off-campus rental markets in the Midwest, with houses and apartment buildings near campus filling up year after year. All that student demand comes with a hidden cost: renters who never see a water bill use far more than they would if they paid for it, and with high turnover and water usually built into the rent, the overage is on you. True Submeter gives Champaign property owners a straightforward, affordable way to put an individual water meter on each unit, so every tenant is billed only for their own usage. Usage drops, billing disputes disappear, and your net operating income climbs, with most owners recovering their full investment within six months. In a market this big and this student-driven, make sure your water billing is scaled to match it.
