Exactly, that’s what I’m talking about.
The discussion I had was in the context of a townhouse complex where the whole complex is a condominium but each block of houses has a single water meter, except for the semis right on the street which are individually metered. I wondered what would be involved in individually metering the rest of the units, and the answer is basically that the City wants the meter close to the property line (so even the existing arrangement would not now be installed new, as I understood it). The solution is for the City to provide the service of doing the individual metering for the units even where there is a main meter at the building or townhouse complex entrance.
The only change in billing software required would be for certain meters to have subtracted from their measurement the total quantity metered by certain other meters.
