Utility Submetering Laws and Regulations in Georgia
*Georgia’s 2010 Water Stewardship Act requires submetering of each new multi-unit residential building and certain retail and light industrial buildings granted a construction permit after July 1, 2012. Tenants in these new buildings must be charged for water and wastewater use based on their measured usage. The act also encourages, but does not require the installation of sub-meters in existing multi-unit buildings and for any office components of newly constructed multi-unit buildings.
The act also allows an affected building’s owner to seek reimbursement from tenants for common area water usage through an allocation based formula; allows the owner to charge a reasonable fee for establishing, servicing, and billing the tenant’s water service; allows water companies to charge for sub-meter installations; relieves owners from liability that results from billing or meter-reading errors by an unaffiliated third-party;  and  allows the requirement to be temporarily waived under certain circumstances.
*DeKalb County, GA, which provides public water service, enacted an ordinance in 2008 that requires sub-meters for any water supplied to a multi-unit residential building built after June 1, 2008. It allows multi-unit property owners or landlords to use the sub-meters to bill each tenant for their actual water use. It also requires water meters for any single family residence or condominium built after July 1, 2008.
