water counters Recently, the housing and utilities sector is not only the object of the president's close attention, but also the subject of heated discussion by the entire population. Due to the fact that tariffs for housing and communal services are constantly growing, people are looking for different ways to legitimately save this rather impressive article of household expenses.

The most active and "counting" part of the population has long understood that individual accounting devices give good savings. After all, all tariffs are calculated by averaged indicators, and even with the corresponding "premiums".The installation of an individual meter allows you to calculate the consumed services not "in general", like everyone else, but on the fact of consumption. This applies to the counters for the calculation of hot and cold water consumption. By the way, the payment for the sewage system is "tied" to payment for cold water.

Installation of such meters until recently was made only with the personal desire of the tenant, that is, it was a matter of purely voluntary, and until recently the question of whether to install water meters, no one has arisen. However, after the adoption of the federal law "On Amending Art.13. .. "of another law, on energy saving, the installation of meters for accounting for the flow of both hot and cold water, becomes mandatory for all categories of citizens. And this applies not only to multi-apartment or private buildings, but also to holiday homes.

 In other words, wherever water is taken from the general water supply system, it will have to be paid for. The period of equipment for houses and apartments is mandatory from July 1, 2012.At the same time, apartment houses are provided with the installation of common house counters.

It is necessary to know that house counters are designed for calculating all the water consumed by the "house".This is not only the flow of water in all apartments, but, for example, the expense for watering the adjacent territory in the summer. In the event of water leakage in the event of an accident on the waterway, these losses are also taken into account. Quite often cases when the apartment is registered only one person, but actually live a few( for example, a rented apartment).Accordingly, and the water discharge is greater than the norm for one person. Thus, residents of all other apartments pay not only for themselves, but also for the "that guy."And such overpayments are quite significant.

 As a conclusion: you still have to put the counter. And it's better to do it before, than forcibly, hastily, somehow. Yes, it is more profitable for him than not to look.
