If you own rental property in Corvallis, Oregon, water submetering ends the flat-rate water setup that quietly drains your margin and bills each tenant for exactly what they use. Corvallis is shaped almost entirely by Oregon State, and the housing around campus is heavy with student rentals held by individual owners: duplexes, older houses split into units, and small apartment buildings. When water is wrapped into one rent check, the tenant running long showers or ignoring a leak never feels it, so consumption stays high and varies between units, and the whole building turns over with each academic year. True Submeter gives Corvallis owners an affordable way to fit an individual water meter to each unit, so the bill follows the person who used the water. Usage falls, disputes over a shared bill end, and your net operating income rises, with most owners earning the cost back within six months. In a college town this tied to the OSU calendar, tight water billing is one of your easiest gains.
