If you own rental property in Warrensburg, Missouri, water submetering is the difference between eating your building’s water bill and recovering it from the tenants who run it up. The University of Central Missouri drives the rental market, and the housing near campus is mostly individually owned student rentals: duplexes, houses split into units, and small apartment buildings. Bundle water into a flat rent and a tenant’s usage costs them nothing, so it runs high, and a new group repeats it each year. Put a meter on the unit and that usage becomes their problem, curbing the waste and billing the rest fairly. True Submeter gives Warrensburg owners an affordable way to put an individual water meter on each unit, so every tenant is billed for exactly 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 this tied to UCM, your billing should keep pace with your leases.
