SimpleSUB Water Improves Water Management for Oklahoma Mobile Home Community

Overview

Managing water use and billing in a multi-unit mobile home community in Oklahoma had become unsustainable. Property Manager Laura K. was stuck between two flawed systems: one that provided inaccurate data and another that came with hefty upfront and ongoing costs.

With no reliable way to track consumption or detect leaks, a major issue at Lot 27 went undetected for months, resulting in the loss of hundreds of gallons per day and significantly inflated bills.

When faced with choosing between another expensive upgrade or something simpler, Laura found the solution in SimpleSUB Water—a scalable, low-maintenance system that eliminated the complexity and cost of legacy metering.

Customer Profile

• Property: Mobile Home Community
• Type: Multi-unit mobile home park
• Location: Oklahoma
• Meter Count: Initial 10 meters, scalable across property
• Interviewee: Laura K., Property Manager

The Problem: Bad Data, High Costs, and Hidden Leaks

The park had tried other systems—but none delivered what was needed.

• METRON’s readings were inconsistent, leading to billing discrepancies and lost revenue.
• Neptune required a $28,000 upfront investment, plus $3,000/year in maintenance fees and additional seasonal costs to winterize meters.
• A running toilet leak at Lot 27 went unnoticed for months, wasting over 400 gallons per day.

Leaks caused excessive water use and hidden losses. Residents were dissatisfied due to billing errors and inefficiencies. With inaccurate data, the property couldn’t recover water costs effectively, hurting NOI and damaging tenant trust.

The Solution: A Simpler, Smarter, Scalable System

SimpleSUB Water delivered exactly what the community needed: accurate, affordable, and easy-to-install submetering that didn’t require any plumbing modifications.

“It’s been so cost-efficient! We don’t have to winterize the meters, which is so nice. It saves us so much money.”
— Laura K., Property Manager

Within just a few hours, 10 clamp-on meters were installed. No downtime, no pipe cutting, and no disruption for residents. The LTE-connected platform began delivering real-time data immediately.
