Long term, a separate meter would be the solution. Short term the Kill
a watt is a cheap solution.

You are battling over $600 a year. You can probably involve a lawyer
and quickly spend $6000 or more so better you come up with a solution
you can live with. You can buy a meter that is easily attached and can
be read independent of your home meter so nothing had to be coordinated.
You read it once a month and split the bill. You should also work out
how to pay for the inevitable repairs to the system. Put a few bucks
into a fund every month until you have enough to cover a new pump so you
don't take a big hit at one time.
