Why SimpleSUB Is the Right Choice for Water Submetering in Denver

Denver property owners face some of Colorado's highest water and sewer costs, with Denver Water rates increasing each year. Combined with Colorado's HB25-1090 — which requires submetering for qualifying multifamily properties — the pressure to adopt a cost-effective solution has never been higher.

SimpleSUB is headquartered in Wheat Ridge, just minutes from Denver. We know Denver Water's rate structure, the city's building stock, and what it takes to install submeters in everything from Capitol Hill apartments to Aurora HOAs.

Built for Denver Properties

Denver's multifamily housing stock ranges from century-old Victorian conversions to modern high-rises — and SimpleSUB works on all of them. Our clamp-on submeters attach to copper, PEX, PVC, and CPVC pipes without cutting or modification. No plumber. No permit. No tenant disruption.

As a Colorado-based company, we understand Denver Water's billing structure and can help you translate submetered usage data into accurate, dispute-free tenant bills.

HB25-1090 Compliance Made Easy

Colorado's House Bill 25-1090 requires qualifying multifamily property owners to install submeters and provide usage-based billing to tenants. SimpleSUB submeters exceed Colorado's accuracy requirements (±5% or better), and the SimpleSUB Dashboard generates the itemized billing statements the law requires.

Don't wait — HB25-1090 has enforcement timelines, and SimpleSUB is the fastest path to compliance for Denver property owners.

Simple, Reliable Technology — No Wi-Fi Required

Many Denver properties — especially older multifamily buildings — don't have reliable WiFi coverage throughout. SimpleSUB's built-in cellular connects directly to the cloud with no gateways, bridges, or IT infrastructure needed.

  • Works in basements, mechanical rooms, and remote utility closets
  • No property WiFi dependency
  • Usage data and leak alerts delivered automatically
  • Secure, lifetime data storage

Trusted Across Denver

SimpleSUB serves properties across the Denver metro — from Capitol Hill apartments to Castle Rock HOAs. Our local team provides hands-on installation support from people who know Colorado's property market.

What Does SimpleSUB Cost — and When Does It Pay Back?

For a typical Denver apartment building, SimpleSUB submeters run under $400 per unit with a $6/month subscription. At Denver Water rates, most property owners recover the hardware cost within 3–6 months of billing tenants for actual usage. After that, water cost recovery is pure NOI improvement.

"SimpleSUB Water was the perfect solution for our needs. From installation to completion, the team was incredible. What could have been a daunting, major project turned out to be so easy thanks to their support. It’s truly a ‘set it and forget it’ solution!"

Bob L.

"There is huge cost savings in not only labor during installation, but also in metering water usage and identifying leaks. SimpleSUB’s feature-light and benefit-heavy design makes it a breeze to use while delivering powerful results."

Luis O.
Commercial Property Manager

"We were quoted $50,000 for a plumber to install inline meters, which was completely out of our budget. SimpleSUB’s solution cost a fraction of that—under $400 per unit with a small monthly subscription—and provided the same accurate data with much less hassle."
