Sub Metering vs Bulk Metering

Sub-metering is the general metering of a complex or property where there is one main municipal meter, also known as a bulk meter, and thereafter other meters called “sub-meters”. Sub-meters are installed after the primary municipal meter. The Sub Metering vendor will pay the monies collected over to the Body Corporate who will be liable for the payment of the Bulk Meter Account with the municipality.
