- Scoundreller 4y agoIt’s usually because the hassle and account fees from submetering doesn’t make up for the conservation it encourages. It’s a huge waste of money in smaller residential units where people don’t have a garden or car to wash. And sometimes not even responsible for their plumbing or appliance choice/efficiency/maintenance. Paying $x/month in account fees and meter reading means someone else burns some other resource while you work to conserve (if one even bothers).
