Simplesub Water Enables Cost Effective Submetering And Leak Detection For Office Property Owner

Customer Profile

Property: Light Industrial & Office Building
Type: Multi-unit property with individual unit sales
Location: UndisclosedMeter
Count: Single city meter for entire building
Interviewee: Kristen M., Property Manager

Challenge

The property owner needed a cost-effective way to submeter water for multiple office and light industrial units within a building that relied on a single city meter. Without individual tracking, there was no way to bill tenants based on actual consumption, detect leaks quickly, or address unusual usage patterns.

Traditional plumbed-in displacement meters would require costly plumbing modifications, making them financially impractical.

Impact

The absence of submetering and monitoring led to:

• No visibility into individual tenant water usage
• Inability to pinpoint high-consumption periods or tenants
• Unexplained weekend and after-hours water spikes suggesting leaks or inefficiencies
• Undetected running toilets and leaks driving up water bills
• No fair cost allocation, forcing the owner to absorb excess costs
