This one is a problem .... how would you solve it?
Picture a main house with a detached garage which has an apartment on top. The two structures are connected by a second story archway so the apartment shower shares the main house bathroom wall on the 2nd floor.
The owners want a sub-meter to bill for the tenant water usage. NOW comes the problem ...
The water main comes into the structure thru the street meter then up to a ball valve shutoff. (see diagram) The piping turns into the garage wall and tees to the landscape irrigation. The garage is fully finished and custom cabinets line the walls. There is no separate pipe for the main house showing !
How would you find the split off of the piping between house and apartment?
