Attention DC Communities
Right-Size Your Water Meter, Right-Size Your Costs
Many Washington, DC multi-family communities are overpaying for water without realizing it. In the District of Columbia, your water bill includes more than just usage. Meter size alone can drive significant fixed monthly costs. If your property has an oversized water meter, you could be paying far more than necessary - every single month.
This is especially common in communities that were originally designed for future phases that were never built. The result? A water meter sized for a much larger development than what exists today.
What does that mean in real dollars? We have seen properties reduce their monthly meter costs from $5,000 to just $400 by downsizing to the appropriate meter size.
