a new rule will be introduced in October for everyone who has had meters in their apartment for more than 3 years

Owners of residential premises are required to independently monitor the condition of water meters. Unlike electricity meters, responsibility for maintaining and replacing water meters lies entirely with the owners of apartments and houses. If the meter breaks down, it is important to know how to act correctly in order to avoid problems with payments for consumed water, reports the Legal Subtleties channel (12+).

What to do if the water meter breaks down?

If a malfunction or malfunction of the water meter is detected, it is necessary to notify the utility organization that is responsible for charging fees for this meter (for example, the management company or Vodokanal) as soon as possible. This is a mandatory step, since information about the breakdown must be officially recorded.
