What is a water-meter subscription number?
The subscription number is the identifier assigned by the water and wastewater utility to a customer account and its official main meter. It links the property to billing and account records.
Where to find it
The number is normally printed on a previous water bill or available through the local water utility’s customer portal, SMS service, or customer-support channel. Identification rules vary by utility and region, so use the official service for the property.
Checking and paying the main water bill
Once the account or bill identifiers are known, the official utility or approved banking channels can show the amount due and accept payment. Verify the customer name, address, and billing period before paying.
The problem with one shared subscription
A multi-unit property normally has one official main subscription. That account reveals only total building consumption. It cannot determine the share of each apartment and therefore encourages estimated allocation, disputes, and weak incentives to repair private leaks.
Benefits of Bruntab water submeters
1. A separate internal meter record for each unit
Each unit receives a distinct measurement identity within EEMS, while the official main utility account remains unchanged.
2. An itemized sub-bill
The system allocates the main bill using measured unit consumption and the configured tariff method.
3. Faster leak detection
Continuous readings reveal unusual overnight or uninterrupted flow.
4. Lower consumption
Users who see their own consumption and cost have a direct incentive to conserve.
5. Higher property value
Transparent measurement simplifies management and is an attractive feature for buyers and tenants.
Summary
The official subscription number remains attached to the property’s main water account. Bruntab adds unit submeters, remote readings, and sub-bills so the building can distribute that official bill fairly.
