I am renting the lower ground flat in my house.

I would like to install a water meter so that the tenant pays for
actual water consumed.

I know where the cold and hot water pipes that go into the flat are.
They are inside the property.

Can I purchase two water meters and install them myself?

This way by adding the two readings I would know the water consumed and
could bill the tenant based on the bill for the whole house.


Ideally I would like the tenant to be billed directly, but since the
water meters are inside the property, and dependent on the first main
meter I doubt the water company would do that.

Thanks,

Antonino

You suggest that there is already a meter outside for the whole building.
Why don't you fit a meter to the take-off in *your* flat and deduct the
amount you use from the gross usage? The remainder will be the amount used
by your tenant. I assume that there are just two flats (upper and lower) and
that the tenant will trust this way of measurement.
