If you own rental property in Conway, Arkansas, water submetering turns a cost you eat every month into a bill each tenant pays. Conway earns its “City of Colleges” name from the University of Central Arkansas and its neighbors, and the rental market around those campuses is largely individually owned student housing: duplexes, houses split into units, and small apartment buildings. A tenant who pays a flat rent and never sees a water bill has no reason to fix a leak or shorten a long shower, so usage runs high and varies between units, and the building re-leases with each academic year. True Submeter gives Conway owners an affordable way to install an individual water meter on each unit, so each tenant pays only for the water they actually use. Usage falls, billing disputes end, and your net operating income rises, with most owners earning the cost back within six months. In a college town this driven by UCA, your water billing should run on the same calendar as your leases.
