Utility Submetering Laws and Regulations in Mississippi
*An apartment house owner, manufactured home community owner or condominium manager may provide for submetering of each dwelling unit or rental unit for the measurement of the quantity of water consumed by the occupants of the unit. If submetering is utilized, tenants may be charged separately for water and wastewater services on a pass through allocated basis for charges incurred by the customer.
The charges for a tenant may not exceed the tenant’s pro rata share of all water and wastewater services used by all of the tenants in that apartment house, manufactured home community or condominium. Any apartment house owner, manufactured home community owner or condominium manager utilizing submetering pursuant to this section shall disclose the submetering to each tenant and obtain from the tenant an acknowledgment of the submetering in a written document.
Submeters installed pursuant to this section must meet the American Water Works Association standards for accuracy. In rendering charges to tenants pursuant to this section, the customer shall provide: beginning and ending meter reads; a statement that the bill is not from the public utility; and a telephone number for tenant inquiries on the bill. Water and wastewater services utilized by the tenant may not be disconnected for nonpayment of submetered bills.
