SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Submetering of water and sewer equipment in rented buildings.  Clarifies that submetering equipment for water and sewer service may be used in commercial and residential buildings if clearly stated in the rental agreement or lease for the leased premises or dwelling unit.  Water and sewer submetering equipment measures the actual water or sewer usage in a dwelling unit or nonresidential unit when the equipment is not owned by the utility that provides service to the building.  With respect to water and sewer usage, landlords are currently authorized to use ratio billing systems, which do not measure actual usage.  Water and sewer submetering equipment will not be subject to regulation by the State Corporation Commission.
