Multifamily
Submetering & Billing
Oates Energy was founded by utility submetering professionals who understood that every apartment community has unique operational needs. While many multifamily properties share similar layouts, their management processes, resident expectations, and billing requirements can differ significantly. Our Sierra Vista utility submetering and billing solutions were developed with this flexibility in mind, allowing us to deliver customized services that align with the way each community operates rather than forcing clients into standardized programs.
Our Sierra Vista utility submetering and billing services allow property owners and managers to select only the solutions they need, from water, electric, and gas submetering to customized billing, reporting, and resident support. Every service is tailored to your property’s goals, billing policies, and management preferences, helping improve utility cost recovery while simplifying administration. Contact Oates Energy to develop a solution designed specifically for your multifamily community.
Condominium Utility
Submetering & Billing
Condominium associations, HOAs, and property managers trust Oates Energy for Sierra Vista utility submetering and billing solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of their communities. We work closely with each client to customize how utility usage is measured, whether through remote-read technology or traditional meter reading, while determining which utilities, recurring charges, and community fees should be included in resident billing. Every solution is designed to support your community’s governing policies and management preferences.
Our Sierra Vista utility submetering and billing services can also include experienced U.S.-based Customer Care that assists residents with billing questions according to your community’s established policies and procedures. By combining flexible billing options with responsive resident support, we help condominium communities improve utility cost recovery, simplify administration, and provide a transparent billing experience. Contact Oates Energy to develop a customized solution for your community.
Mobile Home Park
Submetering & Billing
Every mobile home park has unique utility infrastructure, making flexibility an important part of effective Sierra Vista utility submetering and billing. Many parks operate with older direct-read meters that require manual readings, while others have a combination of submetered and non-submetered utilities or no individual metering at all. These differences require a customized approach that fits the property’s existing utility systems and long-term operational goals.
Oates Energy develops Sierra Vista utility submetering and billing solutions that work with your park’s current infrastructure while improving billing accuracy and utility cost recovery. Whether your community needs upgraded remote-read submetering, support for existing equipment, or a customized Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS) for non-submetered utilities, we tailor every solution to your specific needs. Contact Oates Energy to discuss a utility billing program designed specifically for your mobile home park.

Utility Submetering Laws and Regulations in Arizona
*The Arizona Corporation Commission’s Rules on Water requires all water delivered by a regulated water utility to be billed on the basis of metered volume sales. Arizona’s regulations allow the utility to provide a fixed charge schedule for temporary service where water use can be readily estimated; public and private fire protection; water used for street sprinkling and sewer flushing under certain circumstances; and other fixed charge schedules approved by the commission (Ariz. Admin. Code, title 14, art. 4 §R14-2-408).
*A landlord may charge separately for gas, water, wastewater, solid waste removal or electricity by installing a submetering system or by allocating the charges separately through a ratio utility billing system.
If a landlord charges separately for a utility, the landlord may recover the charges imposed on the landlord by the utility provider plus an administrative fee for the landlord for actual administrative costs only. The landlord shall not impose any additional charges. The rental agreement shall contain a disclosure that lists the utility services that are charged separately and shall specify the amount of any administrative fee that is associated with submetering or the use of a ratio utility billing system (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. §33-1314.01).
*The landlord may charge an administrative fee for the landlord’s actual administrative costs. Any monthly administrative fee shall not exceed the greater of the landlord’s actual administrative costs or 10 percent of the monthly charges by the utility provider in the aggregate to the landlord. The landlord shall not impose any other additional charges.
If the landlord arranges for utility billings to be handled by a third party, the utility billings shall instead include the actual and reasonable cost charged by the third party for the service. Those third party charges shall not exceed ten per cent of the monthly charges by the utility provider for that utility in the aggregate to the landlord. For the purposes of this paragraph, “administrative costs” includes the direct actual costs to the landlord of billing for utilities, including the cost of staff time to calculate and mail the bills, postage and stationery (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. §33-2107).
