A system is disclosed for defining a cost for water usage in a unit of a multi unit building such as an apartment or commercial building. The unit may include a water discharge device such as a sink, tub/shower or toilet and may include a device such as a heating/cooling device which is connected to a closed loop water supply pipe. Monitor means is associated with each supply pipe to determine the commencement of flow through the monitor means, the stoppage of such flow indicating the conclusion of an event and the duration of the flow. The flow duration and flow events for each monitor means are accumulated and are multiplied by a defined cost per unit flow duration/flow events for that monitor means to define a cost for the use of the water.
