Water Submetering

Water submetering is a crucial tool for Manufactured Housing Communities, providing precise measurement of water usage per unit by installing a submeter on each home to track individual usage. Metron’s meters are equipped with cellular connectivity, which allows them to transmit data automatically every day, eliminating the need for manual meter readings. This real-time data transmission not only ensures that residents pay only for the water they use, promoting fairness and accountability, but also provides property owners and managers with several key benefits.

With cellular connectivity, you receive daily updates on water usage, enabling more accurate and timely billing, reducing disputes, and fostering transparency. The automatic readings also save time and labor costs associated with manual reads, freeing up resources for other critical tasks. Additionally, Metron’s system can send real-time leak alerts, allowing for immediate action to prevent water waste and minimize damage. This proactive approach helps to lower operational costs, conserve water, and extend the longevity of your community’s infrastructure.

Granular Water Usage Data

Metron’s technology gathers usage data every 60 seconds, providing unparalleled data granularity. All this detailed information is easily accessible within the WaterScope® web platform, allowing community managers and residents to fully understand water usage patterns and identify potential waste. By quickly spotting and fixing leaks or monitoring excessive water use, like vehicle washing, in WaterScope, you and your tenants can significantly reduce waste. Additionally, with our new Master Meter monitoring device, Metron can help improve recapture rates by detecting infrastructure leaks that might otherwise go unnoticed. This platform also enables proactive water management, helping to promote conservation within your community.

Streamlined Billing

Metron’s hardware and software seamlessly compile water usage data and present it in an easily understood format for both you and your residents. We offer a variety of billing options to best suit your community’s needs. By gathering your water rate information, we can generate invoices to bill each occupant for their exact usage. These billing services are available monthly, ensuring accurate and timely billing without the costly errors of manual meter reads. Metron also offers an API to connect with many billing software packages you use for invoicing. With Metron, your billing process is simplified, efficient, and adaptable to your specific needs.

Improved Resident Satisfaction

Informed residents are happier residents. By providing access to Metron’s WaterScope dashboard, residents can monitor their water usage in real-time, helping them identify leaks and avoid surprises on their bills. When questions arise about higher-than-expected usage, the data is readily available to resolve concerns quickly and efficiently.
