How Does WaterWatch Calculate My Property’s Bills?
• Full Consumption Metered Each unit’s utility cost is measured 100% by a meter which identifies only that resident’s usage consumption. This method of submetering is the most accurate and allows for point of use maintenance troubleshooting. • Meter Ratio System The mechanical layout of a property may mean that it is only possible to meter a portion of a utility. For example, a water submetering system may meter the hot water inlet and allocate cold water usage. This method allows for the maintenance team to partially detect leaks and identify unit location. • Ratio Utility Billing Service (RUBS) RUBS are an approach to allocating utility expenses used when unit mechanical configurations make submetering impossible. Formulas are created to allocate usage based on factors such as square footage and number of occupants. The meter usage is divided among residents according to these established formulas. RUBS does not allow for specific unit maintenance troubleshooting leaks. • Run-Time Al
