Privately owned and operated since our founding in 1991, we specialize in water sub-metering for multifamily communities. CSM has been a leader in providing private water sub-metering systems and water management services for California’s homeowners for 30 years! At CSM we have always felt strongly about water conservation and individual accountability, and our solution was simple: water sub-metering. Sub-metering involves placing individual sub-meters behind the city’s master meter for your community. Typically, multifamily communities have one master city water meter which services all residents. Water and sewer costs are divided equally among the residents and included in the monthly homeowner’s dues. This worked well when water and sewer rates where a fraction of the cost they are today, and when water shortages were not an issue. In today’s California environment, sub-metering is an effective solution to manage overuse of water and the rising costs associated with it. Sub-metering allows for an equitable distribution of cost; individual homeowners are paying only for the water they use. Most importantly, sub-metering promotes water conservation. When residents are accountable for their own water usage, they will be more likely to conserve. Overall property water usage will go down and help avoid potential fees for over usage. California Sub-Meters provides the reading and billing services for your community. The CSM team works with the property manager and will provide each community with a billing specialist to be the point of contact for all of the homeowner’s questions and concerns. We pride ourselves in service excellence! The CSM Team values your business and looks forward to hearing from you to see how we can help customize services for your community.
