Mobile Home Park
Submetering & Billing
For over 20 years, we’ve helped mobile home park managers address the challenges of accurate utility cost recovery. Many properties struggle with outdated or unreliable meters, making Euless utility submetering and billing difficult to manage fairly. When some residents are billed based on actual usage while others are charged differently due to non-functioning meters, the result can be inconsistent, complicated, and often inaccurate cost recovery across water, electric, and gas utilities.
Our Euless utility submetering and billing solutions are designed to simplify and standardize these processes. We can upgrade or replace submetering systems, automate billing for utilities and other recurring charges, and customize every aspect of service delivery to match your needs. Our flexible, cost-effective approach works for parks with as few as 50 residences. Contact us to build a solution that improves accuracy, fairness, and overall operational efficiency.

Utility Submetering Laws and Regulations in Texas
A political subdivision may not authorize the construction or occupancy of a new apartment house, including the conversion of property to a condominium, unless the construction plan provides for the measurement of the quantity of electricity consumed by the occupants of each dwelling unit of the apartment house, either by individual metering by the utility company or by submetering by the owner.
This section does not prohibit a political subdivision from issuing a permit to a nonprofit organization for construction of a new apartment house for occupancy by low-income elderly tenants if the nonprofit organization establishes, by submitting engineering and cost data and a sworn statement, that all cost savings will be passed on to the low-income elderly tenants (Tex. Utilities Code Ann. §184.012).
The Texas Water Code requires each unit in a building with five or more residential units built after Jan. 1, 2003 to have either an individual water utility meter or sub-meter. If feasible, it requires water companies to install individual meters in such buildings at the building owner’s request. The water company can charge reasonable costs for installing the meters. If the water company determines that installing these meters is not feasible, the law requires the property owner to install a plumbing system compatible with sub-meters.
For submetering multi-unit property owners, the state’s water code limits submetering charges on tenants to the cost per gallon and applicable taxes and surcharges charged by the water company; a late fee up to five percent of the late bill; and a service charge of up to nine percent of the costs related to submetering allocated to each sub-metered unit. The code also requires the property owners to maintain adequate records and make them available to tenants and sub-meters to meet certain standards for accuracy, testing, and record keeping (Texas Water Code §13.501 through 13.506).
