I live in an apartment building. My usual usage of electricity per month is about $5.00. The cost to have the meter is $10.00. To me the ideal way to handle this in cohousing would be one big group meter for the entire bill with the $10.00 charge for the meter. Each individual unit would have their own meter to measure their usage. The individual unit would have to pay for their own meter. I checked on the cost of a meter at one time. At that time it was about $170. Paying the public utility to rent their meter for 30 years would be $10.00 X 12 months for 30 years =s $3600. Me myself I would rather pay the $170 for the meter once than have to pay the $3,600 to rent the meter for 30 years. One would have to do a little calculating to get the bills out and collect the money. Seems like a small price to pay to save $3,600 - $170 for a net savings of $3,430. Hope this helps some.
