Two water meters and one electric meter. Done!


it will take YEARS to pay for those with the savings to be had by the
neighbor, cutting $50/month down to whatever.



Nah, it is about the same as one visit to the lawyer.
EKM is one outfit that has electric meters under $100.

Watts has a water meter you can get for $60. For an hour or two of time
and less than $250 in material you are set. Now just agree on a rate
and maintenance fund, non-returnable if one party moves away.


He doesn't need a water meter, just to measure the electric used
by the well pump and room heater. He mentioned a Killawatt, but
AFAIK they only do 120V and the well pump is likely 240V so
one like you suggest would work.
