Joined parcel feature class to non-spatial table, how do I create polygon features?

Hello. I am working with a non-spatial table of water meters. I have joined a polygon parcel feature class to the table, so that each meter record has a parcel number. The parcel spatial fields, length and area, are available as part of the join in the non-spatial data. How do I, or can I, create a polygon feature class from this table? I am trying to maintain multiple meter records all having the same parcel number. In other words, if a property has 20 meters (apartments), there will be 20 identical parcel polygons stacked up. Is this even possible to do? Or should I use relate instead of join? Joins and relates confuse me.

reverse the join featureclasses, you can't make a non-spatial table spatial, but you can use the spatial featureclass with the join table. joins and relates, one-to-on, or many to one. It looks like you want to associate many meters with one polygon, it will work only one way.
