Water

Water submetering is based on the concept of measuring the actual cost of water consumed in an individual apartment. The water submeters are installed on the water lines and are read by a remote wireless communication system.

SSI simply reads the consumption monthly or as necessary and generates a water bill to the residents based on actual gallons used and the rates charged to the community by the utility company. Residents may either make payments on-line or send a check or money order with the remittance portion of their monthly invoice. Landlords are then reimbursed for their portion of what was collected by SSI.

Once residents become financially responsible for their own consumption, the overall usage in an entire community will be reduced by an average of 35%. In order to assist residents in controlling the water consumption, we have provided some conservation tips that will assist in the ongoing conservation effort.

 

Electricity

Electric submetering is based on the concept of measuring the electricity used in the individual apartment. The electric meters are installed near the circuit breaker panels in the apartments or another distribution point within the building and are read by either a remote wireless or PLC (power line communication) system.

SSI simply reads the consumption monthly or as necessary and generates an electric bill to the residents based on actual kilowatt hours used and the rates charged to the community by the utility company. Residents then make payments on-line or send a check or money order with the remittance portion of their monthly invoice. Landlords are then reimbursed for their portion of what was collected by SSI.

 

Natural Gas

Natural gas submetering is based on the concept of measuring the natural gas used in the individual furnaces and gas cooking ranges or either one individually. The natural gas meters are installed on the gas lines accordingly and are read by a remote wireless communication system.

SSI simply reads the consumption on a monthly basis and generates a natural gas bill to the residents based on actual therms used and rates charged to the community by the utility company. Residents then make payments on-line or send a check or money order with the remittance portion of their monthly invoice. Landlords are then reimbursed for their portion of what was collected by SSI.
