California has complex laws when it comes to water meters and submeters. All rental units built after January 1, 2018, that apply to a water purveyor for water connection must have water submeters for each unit.
Any Landlord that plans to charge a Tenant separately for water usage or that is required to install a water submeter must provide a Tenant with a specific disclosure about the water meter.
