What is Submetering?

Why is my bill so high compared to my neighbor?

If your bill is submetered, it is based on your individual usage. Therefore, if your bill is high compared to your neighbor, they may have used less water/gas/electricity. If it is not submetered then it is based on square footage of your unit and\or the number of residents in that unit to determine your usage and allocate that onto your monthly bill.

How did I get a late fee when I sent my check in the mail last week?

The mail can take 5-10 days to deliver your check, depending on where you are located. We recommend sending your check in as soon as you get your bill, but at minimum 5 days before the bill is due to make sure we receive your check on time to avoid the late fee.  If you send it within 10 days before the due date and you still get a late fee, please give us a call and we can discuss further options to help avoid this in the future.
