Some properties have just one water meter to service multiple residences. This [setup] is common in older blocks of units or apartments. For this type of property, the usage charges for all residences are split evenly among occupants (regardless of individual usage) because [a utility service provider doesn't] know how much water each residence is using. A check meter is an additional meter [that a utility service provider] can install so that [a property owner will] have visibility of [their] property's [utility] usage, and [they will] only pay for what [they] use. 2, record 1, English, - check%20meter
