WATER SUBMETERING Clause Samples
The Water Submetering clause establishes the requirement for individual measurement of water usage within a property, typically through the installation of separate water meters for each unit or tenant. In practice, this means that each occupant is billed based on their actual water consumption rather than a shared or estimated amount, promoting fairness and encouraging conservation. The core function of this clause is to ensure accurate allocation of water costs, thereby preventing disputes over utility charges and incentivizing responsible water use.
