If you own rental property in Ruston, Louisiana, water submetering ends the month-after-month habit of paying for water your tenants never see a bill for. Ruston is a Louisiana Tech town, with Grambling State just up the road, 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 one flat rent and never sees a water bill has no reason to fix a running toilet or cut a long shower, so usage runs high and uneven, and a new group of renters arrives with each fall semester. True Submeter gives Ruston 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 town this tied to Louisiana Tech, your water billing should follow the same calendar as your leases.
