If you own rental property in San Marcos, Texas, water submetering puts the water bill where it belongs, on the tenant who ran the tap, not on you. San Marcos is a Texas State town, and the wall-to-wall student housing along the I-35 corridor is heavy with individually owned rentals: duplexes, fourplexes, and houses leased by the room. A tenant who pays a 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 swings between units, and a new group signs the lease every August. True Submeter gives San Marcos 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 market that lives on the Texas State calendar, your water billing should keep the same schedule.
