Wyoming Submetering Laws

Wyoming allows landlords and property managers to install submetering systems and bill residents for individualized utility usage.

Though information on submetering and utility billing rules in the state is scant, it appears that residential water, wastewater, electric and gas submetering, as well as RUBS billing, are all allowed in Wyoming.

In Casper, Wyoming, the second-largest city in the state, it is mandated that “[landlords] desiring one or more sub-meters for various tenants or residents shall furnish, install, maintain, read, and bill on such meters at their own expense.”

As with all states, leases and rental agreements should make explicit who is responsible for utility payments.
