Maybe they do commercial customers different, but I'm about 30 miles north of the site in question, and my water use is reported in real time. I can even get a daily report from their web site. It's hard to believe they'd be less interested in the usage of their 1e6-gallon-per-year commercial customers than their 1e4-gallon-per-year residential customers.
