How to count for water on a receipt. The formula for calculating water heating in the utility bill

The second component

In general, the amount of payment for hot water supply is calculated according to the following formula:

P i gv \u003d Vi gv × T xv+ (V v cr × Vi gv/ ∑ Vi gv × T v kr)

Vi Guards- the volume of hot water consumed during the billing period (month) in an apartment or non-residential premises

T xv- cold water tariff

V v cr- the amount of thermal energy used for the billing period for heating cold water at independent production hot water management company

∑ Vi gv- the total volume of hot water consumed during the billing period in all rooms of the house

T v cr- tariff for thermal energy

Calculation example:

Suppose the consumption of hot water in an apartment for a month was 7 m 3. Hot water consumption in the whole house - 465 m 3. The amount of thermal energy spent on heating DHW according to a common house metering device - 33.5 Gcal

7 m 3 * 33.3 rubles. + (33.5 Gcal * 7 m 3 / 465 m 3 * 1331.1 rubles) \u003d 233.1 + 671.3 \u003d 904.4 rubles,

Of which:

RUB 233.1 - payment for actual water consumption (DHW line in the receipt)

671.3 - payment for thermal energy spent on heating water to the required temperature (DHW heating line in the receipt)

AT this example 0.072 gigacalories of thermal energy were spent to heat one cube of hot water.

AT the value showing how many gigacalories it took to heat 1 cubic meter of water in the billing period is called DHW heating factor

The heating coefficient varies from month to month and largely depends on the following parameters:

Cold water supply temperature. AT different time year the temperature of cold water is from +2 to +20 degrees. Accordingly, in order to heat the water to the required temperature, you will have to spend a different amount of thermal energy.

The total volume of water consumed per month in all areas of the house. This value is largely influenced by the number of apartments that have passed their testimony in the current month, recalculations and, in general, the discipline of residents taking their testimony.

The cost of thermal energy for the circulation of hot water. The circulation of water in the pipes occurs continuously, including during the hours of minimum drawdown. That is, for example, at night, hot water is practically not used by residents, but thermal energy is still spent on heating water to maintain the required temperature of hot water in heated towel rails and at the inputs to apartments. This indicator is especially high in new, sparsely populated houses and stabilizes with an increase in the number of inhabitants.

Average values ​​of DHW heating coefficients for each block are given in the section "Tariffs and calculated coefficients"

With the advent of cold weather, many Russians are concerned about the question of how to pay for utilities. For example, to how to calculate hot water and how often you should pay for these services. To answer all these questions, you first need to clarify whether a water meter is installed in this dwelling. If the counter is installed, then the calculation is made according to a certain scheme.

The first thing to do is to look at the receipt for utility services, which came last month. In this document, you should find a column that indicates the amount of water consumed over the past month, we will need figures with indicators at the end of the last reporting period.

The first thing to do is to look at the receipt for utility services, which came last month

After these indications are written out, they should be entered in a new document. In this case we are talking on receipts for payment of housing and communal services for the next reporting period. As you can see, the answers to the questions, how to calculate the cost of hot water by the meter, how to determine its consumption, are quite simple. It is necessary to timely and correctly take all the readings of the water meter.

By the way, many management companies themselves enter the above information into payment document. In this case, you do not have to look for data in old receipts. You also need to remember that in situations where the water meter has just been installed and these are the first readings, the previous ones will be zero.

The initial readings of some modern counters may not contain zeros, but some other numbers.

I would also like to clarify that the initial readings of some modern meters may not contain zeros, but some other numbers. In this case, in the receipt in the column where you need to indicate the previous readings, you need to leave these numbers.

The process of searching for previous meter readings is very important if you need to figure out how to calculate hot water from a meter. Without these data, it will not be possible to correctly calculate how many cubic meters of water were used in this reporting period.

So, before you start studying the question of how to calculate the cost of hot water, you should learn how to take readings from a water meter.

Designations on the counter

Almost all modern counters have a scale with a minimum of 8 digits. The first 5 of which are black, but the second 3 are red.

Important

It is important to understand that only the first 3 digits are displayed in the receipt, which are black. Because this is the data of cubic meters, and it is on them that the cost of water is calculated. But the data that is colored in red is liters. They do not need to be listed on invoices. Although these data make it possible to estimate how many liters of water a particular family consumes for a certain reporting period. Thus, you can understand whether it is worth saving on this benefit or whether the expense is within the normal range. And of course, you can determine how much water is spent on taking bath procedures, and how much on washing dishes, and so on.

It is important to understand that only the first 3 digits are displayed in the receipt, which are black

In order to correctly understand how to calculate the tariff for hot water, you should know on which day of the month the readings of this device are taken. Here, it must be remembered that water meter data must be taken at the end of each reporting period, after which they must be transferred to the appropriate authority. This can be done through phone call or over the Internet.

On a note! It should be remembered that the figures are always indicated at the beginning of the reporting period (that is, those that were removed last month) and at the end (these are those that are removed now).

This regulation is spelled out in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 05/06/2011, its number 354.

How to correctly calculate the service?

It is no secret that the legislation of our country is constantly changing, in connection with which citizens begin to worry about the question of how to calculate hot water or any other utility costs.

If we talk specifically about water, then we should take into account the fact that the payment consists of certain components:

• indicators of the water meter, which is located in the room and controls the flow of cold water;
• indicators of the meter, which shows the consumption of hot water in this apartment;
• indicators of the device, which calculates the consumption of cold water for all tenants;
• data of the meter that controls the consumption by the residents of the house, it is installed in the basement of the house;
• the share of a particular apartment in the total expenditure;
• share, which corresponds to a particular apartment in this house.

The penultimate indicator is the most incomprehensible, although in fact everything is quite accessible. It is taken into account when determining the amount of the resource that was spent on everyone. It is also called "common house needs." This, by the way, also applies to the last indicator, it is calculated when general house needs are calculated.

Calculation of hot water consumption

As for the first two indicators, they are quite understandable. They depend on the residents themselves, because a person himself can choose for himself whether to save the consumption of a particular resource or not. But in other cases, it all depends on how often wet cleaning at the entrance of the house, from the number of riser leaks, and so on.

The worst thing about this settlement system is that almost all of the common house needs are fictitious. Indeed, in every house there are tenants who incorrectly indicate their individual indicators, or, for example, one person is registered in their apartment, but five live. Then the general house needs should have been calculated based on the fact that 3 people live in apartment No. 5, and not 1. In this case, everyone else would have to pay a little less. As you can see, the question of how to calculate hot water still needs careful study.

That is why our officials are still trying to figure out how to calculate the payment for hot water and what mechanism would be the most successful.

Does everyone have the same rates?

To save money, you should always screw on the tap, if at the moment it is not necessary to use water

To do this, just go to the site of the management company or just call there. Also, such information is contained on the receipt, which comes to each tenant.

After these data are found, the cost of spent cubic meters of the resource should be calculated. Further, it is quite simple to calculate the payment for hot water, this is done in the same way as in the case of all other resources. You should take the number of cubic meters spent and multiply by a specific tariff.

It should be noted that today there are many ways to save hot water consumption, thereby reducing your costs of paying for it. To do this, you can use special nozzles on the faucet, they will help not to spray water so much and control the power of pressure. You should also open the faucet valve not at full strength, so the jet will go under less pressure, but the water will not scatter in all directions. And of course, you should always screw on the tap, if at the moment it is not necessary to use water. For example, when a person brushes his teeth or washes his hair (while the head is being soaped or the toothbrush is being smeared, the water tap can be closed).

All these tips will help reduce the cost of paying for hot or cold water, thereby helping to correctly calculate the consumption of hot water.

The difference between hot and cold water calculations

Of course, in this formula, as in the one that takes into account the consumption of hot water, there are many flaws. Due to the fact that general house indicators are taken into account, it is difficult to control where the difference between the individual indicators of all residents and the data that was taken from the water meter installed on the house went. Perhaps everything really is, and all this water went to clean the entrance. But this is hardly believable. Of course, there are residents who deceive the state and give incorrect data, but there are also errors in the operation of the pipeline system itself (sewer pipes in most houses are old and can leak, so the water goes nowhere).

Hot water invoice

For a long time our government has been thinking about how to correctly calculate hot and cold water and how to improve the existing mechanism.

For example, in 2013, our authorities came to the conclusion that it is necessary to establish standard norms for general house needs and it is these data that should be taken into account when calculating the cost of one cubic meter water. This helped to somewhat restrain the zeal of our management companies and help the citizens of the country. You can find out these figures from the management company. But this applies only to those cases where the tenants have entered into an agreement with the management company. If we are talking about Vodokanal, then here in every locality will have its own fixed minimum payment. And, let's say, an overpayment in this reporting period can cover expenses in the next one.

As you can see, there is a whole scheme that makes it clear how to calculate hot water heating or how to calculate how much to pay for cold water consumption.

Almost any residential building in 2017 is equipped with a water supply system. And almost every real estate owner has purchased and installed water meters, which saves cash. However, before that, a person faces a number of problems, he has questions about the operation and reliability of the device.

Taking a meter reading

In order not to overpay for water consumption, you need to learn how to take readings from the meter. They are indicated on the device itself. Based on them, you can determine the flow of water for a certain period of time. To make the values ​​as accurate as possible, it is recommended to use a calculator for the calculation.

Any device has a special design, the arrangement of numbers and the colors of the device vary depending on the model. The principle described below is suitable for both cold and hot water meters. In order to easily take readings, it is better to place the device in an easily accessible place.

To take readings, five black numbers are used, which are located on the left. For example, your counter shows 00502010. Numbers that are constantly spinning (red) should be ignored. In this example, the counter shows that 502 cubes and 10 liters of liquid were used in the apartment. The zeros in front of them are needed for future readings when the number of cubes increases.

How to check their correctness?

Like any other similar device, the water meter fails over time. It has a guaranteed lifetime, but sometimes it fails before the expiration of this period. If you suspect that the device is not working properly, you can check it yourself. To do this, you need to turn off the water in the apartment and fix the value of the three red numbers (these are liters). After that, it is recommended to take a vessel with a volume of 10 liters, fill it and pour out the water. It is advisable to skip at least 50 liters in this way. If after that the device does not show the volume that you poured out, the device is faulty and needs to be checked. Keep in mind that one cubic meter of water is 1000 liters.

The verification takes place at the expense of the owner of the water meter or, in the case of a guarantee for it, by a certified organization from which the device was purchased. Before these manipulations, the owner of real estate will have to pay for water according to standard tariffs. After checking, the meter is either repaired or replaced with another one. In case of an overpayment, a recalculation is performed, the funds are given into the hands of the owner of the living space.


The cause of the failure also plays an important role. If there is damage to the seal on the water meter, there are no arrows, a scheduled verification was missed - the owner of the device will be fined.

How to calculate payment for water based on readings?

In order to independently calculate the final cost, you must have information about the tariff and know the readings of the device. If this month the meter reading is 00502, then 502 cubic meters of water have passed through the water meter for the entire time. From this value, you must subtract the value that was last month, for example, 00482. Subtract 482 from 502, it turns out that 20 cubes were spent this month.

Next, you need to multiply the resulting number according to your tariff. For example, if it is 30 rubles per cubic meter, then you need to multiply 30 by 20, as a result, you will get 600 rubles for payment.

How to pay for water by meters?

Water supply services must be paid every month. To do this, it is necessary to transfer information from the device to the Unified Information and Settlement Center. This can be done in various ways:

• One of the most common ways to pay for water is to call this center. All that is required is to report the values ​​from the counter to the dispatcher. No need to go anywhere and stand in lines, which is very convenient.
• Another popular option is the internet. To do this, you need to visit the site of the management company. If this is your first time, registration is required.
• Personal visit to the Unified Information and Settlement Center. A person comes and leaves an entry in the log with the values ​​of the water meter.
• Information from the counter to the center can also be sent by mail.

After the operation, the employees of the EIRC determine the amount of money to be paid and send it by document. You have to pay for water once a month. However, do not forget that the management periodically compares the testimonies given by clients for compliance with real values.

If the water meter was installed in a communal apartment, the amount is divided evenly between all residents who are officially registered in this living area. If for some reason several meters were installed, the data is provided to the EIRC for each separately.

It is strongly not recommended to interfere with the operation of the device, try to slow it down. In case of detection of such violations, the owner of the device will be fined.

Internet payment algorithm

Paying for water through public services is one of the easiest and most effective ways, which allows you to save time and quickly get information about the status of payments in real time:

1. For access to Personal Area you need to get a code to access the financial and personal account through the global network. This can be done in the district GU IS.
2. The documentation issued by the GUIS contains information about the client number, account number and login password. Here you can find instructions for entering the site.
3. After authorization has been completed, you need to indicate your area and current meter data.
4. After filling in all the indications, you must save the entered data.
5. To pay for water supply services, you can use as bank cards, and money wallets: Webmoney, Yandex Money, Qiwi and others. To do this, go to the EPD section, verify all personal data, enter the contract number and set the period for which payment is required.
6. After that, it remains to follow the further instructions, it is recommended to make sure that the payment went through and the money was credited to the utility account.

Consequences in case of non-payment

The current laws of the Russian Federation are such that a payment must be made for water no later than the 10th day of the month. If the funds are not received within 3 months, a written warning is sent to the person. In case of non-payment of the debt within six months, the utility service has the right to go to court to recover the debt from the owner of the property.

Approaching the issue of installing a water meter, the owners have to solve many other problems, among which the registration of this device should be highlighted. When this issue is resolved, the owner gets the opportunity to operate the water meter. At the same time, someone may encounter certain difficulties regarding the payment procedure for the meter, as well as the scheme for calculating water consumption.

How to take readings from the counter?

The instrument has 5 black and 3 red divisions. Say, at the time of installation of the device, the following information was given on it: 00000174. The last three digits imply the volume of liters of water that was consumed. Everyone knows that when taking readings from the meter, they are taken into account in cubic meters. For this reason, the time for paying for water has not yet come. In other words, data is taken from the device when it shows the first five digits. Therefore, at least a month must pass in order to obtain the necessary indicators.

A month later, you need to look at the device again: there will already be other data - 00001174. Considering that there are more than three digits, readings can be taken. After performing simple calculations, it will become clear that in a month the water consumption amounted to a little more than one cubic meter of water. When contacting the management company with the captured data, you should keep in mind that you will have to pay the entire amount only on the basis of consumed water. After another month, there will be new readings on the water meter: 00012566. It is easy to understand that over the past month you have used up 12 cubic meters. If you perform simple operations 12-1 = 11, then we get that in the current month you will need to pay for 11 cubes.

Calculation of water consumption by the meter

To determine how much you will need to pay for the water you use, you need to know the following:

• meter readings;
• current tariffs for hot and cold water.

When the water meter is installed in your apartment, you need to remember or write down its readings set at that moment. You will need to transfer this data to the managing company.

When another month has passed, you need to take the reading again, calculate the difference, and the result to inform the organization.

Calculation rules

If you yourself want to determine the amount to be paid, you must use the tariff table. Keep in mind that rates change every year. In addition to this, it must be borne in mind that the decision to raise or lower them is made by the city administration. For this reason, in the future, you should find out from the management company from time to time whether they have remained the same.

To calculate the consumption of hot water, you need data from the water meter multiply by the current rate. This will allow you to find out the amount to pay for the water used in the current month. Calculation of cold water is carried out according to the same scheme.

Keep in mind that some cities have a certain minimum that requires payment every month. Therefore, if your volume of water consumption is less than this minimum, say 10 liters with a minimum of 1.5 cubic meters, then you still have to pay for all 1.5 cubic meters. However, when it comes time to pay for water next month, your overpayment will be taken into account, as a result of your water bills will go down a bit.

Those who live in rural areas should not worry too much about the payment scheme for water consumption. The fact is that in villages and villages there is a similar procedure for paying for water. Differences can only be associated with tariffs, which you can ask the management company about in advance.

The procedure for paying for water by the meter

The method of payment for water supply services requires the regular provision of meter data to Unified information and settlement center. This can be done in several ways:

After the employees of the settlement center calculate the amount payable, you will receive the corresponding payment document. A similar procedure is carried out every month, and the consumer does not need to personally contact the settlement center. Please be aware that Building Management may periodically review the accuracy of your meter readings.

Keep in mind that if readings are taken from a water meter installed in a communal apartment, then the amount that must be paid for the consumed water should be divided equally between all registered residents. If there are several water meters in the apartment, it is necessary to take readings from each of them separately and submit them to the settlement center. Consumers are prohibited from making any changes to the operation of the water meter to reduce their readings, as in this case they will have to pay a fine.

Checking the correctness of the readings

Sometimes a situation may arise when the meter readings do not correspond to the real ones. You can verify that the device is working correctly as follows. First you need to write down the values ​​of the three red numbers. After that, you need to take a bucket with a volume of 10 liters, pour water into it and pour it out. This must be done three times. Next, you should look at the counter. If, according to the readings of the water meter, it is clear that the amount of water used exceeds or does not reach 30 liters, then we can conclude that the device should check for correct operation.

Conclusion

Today, in almost every apartment you can find such a device as a water meter. With the help of a water meter, the owner can keep track of the amount of water consumed, which allows him to save a lot on paying for it. At the same time, not every owner, after installation, has an idea of ​​​​how to calculate the amount payable for consumed water. The calculation method itself is quite simple, so you do not need any specific knowledge to understand this process. Much more important is something else. Over time, certain water meter models may show wrong data which can result in extremely large savings or increased water bills.

Therefore, in order to avoid such situations, you should check the operation of this device from time to time, comparing the amount of water actually consumed with that shown on the water meter. This will help to immediately identify the malfunction and restore the health of the device state earlier. And don't count on it Management Company won't know about it. Among them, a common practice is to conduct checks on the reliability of the data provided on the consumed water. Therefore, if you keep silent about such a fact, then in the future you will have to pay a rather serious fine.

The examples of calculations of the cost of hot water and thermal energy given by the employees of the REC, although they are largely conditional, nevertheless show that the presence of a metering device allows you to pay according to actual consumption. Calculation according to the standards is almost always an overpayment.

It should be noted that hot water supply can be centralized and non-centralized.

Non-centralized water supply is the preparation of hot water in intra-house autonomous engineering systems. For example, when a boiler is installed in a private house or instantaneous water heater.

Only centralized hot water supply is subject to regulation (tariff setting). In this regard, a distinction is made between open and closed hot water supply schemes.

open circuit

With an open (centralized) heat supply scheme, the selection of hot water for the needs of hot water supply occurs directly from the heating network.

In accordance with the current legislation, a two-component tariff is set for hot water in an open system, which consists of a component for a heat carrier and a component for thermal energy.

The heat energy component is set by the regulator as a single-rate or two-rate component equal to the one- or two-rate heat tariff, respectively.

The component for the heat carrier (and for public utilities it is, as a rule, water that has undergone additional treatment at the boiler house) is set as a single-rate component and is taken equal to the tariff for the heat carrier.

An example of calculating the payment for hot water in the presence of an in-house meter

Data for calculation:

consumption volume 5 cubic meters.

The payment for hot water supply provided in the specified apartment will be: 5.0 * 89.38 = 446.90 rubles.

Calculation of the amount of payment for hot water supply in an open heat supply system provided in a residential building in the absence of an internal metering device(if it is technically possible to establish it) is determined based on the consumption standard, the number of people living in a residential building (registered) and the tariff for hot water.

An example of calculating the payment for hot water in the absence of an in-house meter

Apartment house located in the city of Omsk, the supplier of thermal energy is Omsk RTS JSC through the networks of the Omsk MP "Thermal Company".

Data for calculation:

consumption standard in the amount specified in Appendix No. 1 of the Order of the Regional Energy Commission of the Omsk Region dated September 11, 2014 No. 118/46 for 5-storey buildings, 3.4 cubic meters. m / sq. m (in the absence of technical feasibility of installing individual hot water metering).

two-component tariff for hot water, approved by order of the REC of the Omsk region dated December 19, 2016 No. 597/71, from January 1, 2017 in the following amount:

Convert to single component using the following formula:

17.82 + 1422.60 * 0.0503 \u003d 89.38 rubles / cubic meter m;

where 0.0503 Gcal / cu. m - the standard amount of thermal energy for the preparation of one cubic meter of hot water.

Number of residents - 3 people.

The payment for hot water supply provided in the apartment will be: 3.4 * 89.38 * 3 = 911.68 rubles.

Important ! If there is no metering device in the apartment, if there is a technical possibility for its installation, a multiplying factor is applied in the calculation, which from January 1, 2017 is 1.5.

The fee in the above apartment, taking into account the multiplying factor, will be 3.4 * 1.5 * 89.38 * 3 = 1367.51 rubles.

At present, in accordance with federal law there is a gradual transition from open system hot water supply to closed.

closed circuit

With a closed (centralized) hot water supply system, hot water from the heating network is used exclusively for heating, and hot water supply is provided through a separate circuit or is carried out by heating the water pipe. drinking water in central heating points (CHP).

In accordance with the current legislation, tariffs for hot water in closed system hot water supply are set in the form of two-component tariffs, consisting of a component for cold water and a component for thermal energy.

The component for cold water is equal to the established tariff for cold water, the component for thermal energy is equal to the established tariff for thermal energy.

The amount of payment for the utility service for hot water supply is determined in accordance with the Rules for the provision of utility services to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings, approved by the Government Decree Russian Federation dated May 6, 2011 No. 354, according to the formula No. 24.

An example of calculating the payment for hot water in a closed hot water supply system with an in-house meter

Data for calculation:

the volume of consumption in the apartment is 5 cubic meters.

The payment for the hot water service in the first half of 2017 in the specified apartment will be:

14.63 * 5+ (5 * 0.0503) * 1422.60 \u003d 430.93 rubles.

An example of calculating the payment for hot water in a closed hot water supply system in the absence of an in-house meter

The apartment building is located in the city of Omsk, the supplier of hot water is the MP of Omsk "Thermal Company" from the heat sources of JSC "Omsk RTS".

Data for calculation:

consumption standard according to Appendix No. 1 of the Order of the Regional Energy Commission of the Omsk Region dated September 11, 2014 No. 118/46 for 5-storey buildings - 3.4 cubic meters. m/person

two-component tariff for hot water, approved by order of the REC of the Omsk region dated December 20, 2016 No. 623/72, from January 1, 2017 in the following amount:

The payment for the hot water service from 1 person in the first half of 2017 in the specified apartment will be:

14.63 * 3.4 + (3.4 * 0.0503) * 1422.60 \u003d 293.03 rubles.

If there is no metering device in the apartment, if there is a technical possibility for its installation, a multiplying factor is applied in the calculation, which from January 1, 2017 is 1.5.

The payment for the hot water service from 1 person living in the above apartment, taking into account the increasing coefficient, will be 1.5 * 293.03 = 439.55 rubles.

Citizens at the legislative level are obliged to install individual water meters in apartments and houses. Of course, if it is possible to do so. If it is technically possible to install meters, but citizens refuse, then when calculating the fee for using the resource, consumption rates with increasing coefficients are applied.

As a result, it is much more profitable to pay only for the amount that was actually used, without overpaying for extra cubic meters of water. And this can be done only if there is an individual counter.

The legislative framework

The provision of utilities, which also includes cold and hot water supply, is regulated by the Rules approved by Government Decree No. 354. They contain formulas that are used to calculate the payment for the use of water in apartments where meters are installed, and without them.

The standards for water consumption and its disposal have remained unchanged for almost 30 years. They may vary slightly depending on the type of home.

The cost of one cubic meter of water is set by the authorities of the region in compliance with the norms federal law No. 210-FZ, which regulates the application of tariffs in this area.

The rate of consumption of cold water per person without a meter

It was calculated by calculation that on average per month a person can consume 6,935 cubic meters cold water. What is the origin of this number? We regularly spend resources on daily needs, without which the concept of a comfortable life is impossible.

To calculate the consumption of water in general, both hot and cold, we took the average statistical indicators that a person needs daily for the following purposes:

• taking a shower daily - up to 30 liters;
• washing, shaving, etc., which is our daily requirement - 200 liters per week;
• water that is collected in the toilet bowl - about 200 liters per day;
• bathing - 200 liters per week;
• other expenses associated with laundry, cleaning, washing dishes.

There are also losses and other water costs that may affect the entire residential building. This includes common house needs that go to cleaning. common areas, costs associated with unauthorized connections, leaks in the home's water supply, and many other factors.

As a result, a decent amount runs up, from which an approximate amount of cold water was isolated. It was adopted as the consumption standard per person per month, if there is no individual meter in the housing.

This is a rather large value, which is difficult to cover without even saving water. But utilities to cover their costs have the right to overestimate it if necessary. At the same time, the upper bar is strictly limited - it should not be more than two sizes of the standard.

The fee for the resource according to the standard is taken from each person registered in the premises, regardless of whether he actually lives there. This also includes temporarily registered citizens. According to Clause 28 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 26, 2016 No. 1498 from 01/01/2017.

About multiplying factors

In the absence of individual meters and the availability of technical feasibility for their installation, legislators decided to apply multiplying factors to calculate fees for all consumed resources. This norm has been introduced since the beginning of 2017 and significantly affects the costs of the population. On the other hand, this measure encourages citizens to install metering devices.

This applies not only to water meters, but also to meters:

Management companies should install common house appliances in order to control the consumption of resources in the house as a whole.

The formula for calculating cold and hot water without a meter

The question is often asked: If there is no water meter, how is it calculated per person in 2019?

The formulas for calculating water according to the standard are fixed in PP No. 354 in Appendix No. 2 Section 1 of clause 4a.

It is not possible to install the counter technically

The formula for calculating the cost of cold water for the owner or tenant of an apartment that is not equipped with individual metering devices, if it is not technically possible to install a meter (PP RF No. 354 Chapter VI paragraph 42):

P = n*N*T,

• N - the rate of consumption of cold water per month per person,
• T is the tariff set for the region.

You can install a meter or the verification period has expired

The tariff for those who do not have individual meters with a multiplying factor will become 1.5 times more than the tariff for those who have meters installed. Thus, one more component will be added to the calculation formula and it will become the following:

P \u003d n * N * T * K,

• n - the number of permanently and temporarily registered in the room,
• N is the rate of water consumption per month per person,
• T is the tariff set for the region,
• K - increasing coefficient (for 2019, 1.5 is set).

By simple calculations, it becomes clear that installing meters is quite profitable. This will make it possible to control not only the monthly consumption of the resource, but also the family's expenses for this item.

Important: Follow the date of verification of cold and hot water meters, otherwise they will be calculated according to the standard.

The rate of consumption of hot water per person without a meter

It has been determined that a person spends more cold water than hot water. Therefore, the monthly standard for it is slightly lower and is 4,745 cubic meters. At the same time, the calculation for the water entering the heating system is made separately.

The standard includes only the actual consumption figures for each person and it is considered that no more than 140 liters of hot water are consumed daily for all his needs. The same rule applies here as with cold water when public utilities can increase the standard by no more than two times. And you need to pay according to the standard for each citizen registered in the living space.

The formula for calculating the payment for hot water is similar to the calculation for cold water using the cost of 1 cubic meter of hot water at the regional tariff.

Note that dividing the rate of consumption of hot and cold water by 30 days in a month, we get quite serious numbers. This more than covers all possible expenses, so the meters will help to significantly save the family's water costs. This is especially true for those who have a fairly large family living and registered in the apartment.

Standard and tariff for water consumption by city for 2019

The above standards are average. More precise figures are set by each region independently. At the same time, depending on the various factors that are present in a particular house, they differ slightly. The cost of one cubic meter of water is also determined by the authorities of the region, it depends on the characteristics of the territory and its location.

The table shows the water tariffs in force in different cities. They are applicable for multi-apartment and private houses that are connected to hot and cold water supply networks, sewerage, and are also equipped with plumbing fixtures (toilet, sink, bath or shower).

Keep in mind that prices may vary depending on the resource supplying organization. For each of them, tariffs are approved separately.
