California's housing crisis has spotlighted Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)—compact secondary homes on existing lots, like backyard cottages or granny flats. Recent laws streamline permitting, cut fees, and boost incentives, making ADUs a popular way to add affordable rentals, generate income, or support multigenerational living. However, shared utilities pose challenges, especially water billing. Without separate meters, owners often use estimates, leading to disputes and inefficiency. Submetering solves this by tracking individual usage for fair, precise billing, essential in water-scarce areas. Flows.com excels here, supplying compliant water meters for ADU submetering.
