If water meters are installed in your apartment, the cost of water supply should be significantly reduced. But a headache with payment can add. Its order depends on the specific region, but there are some general recommendations for all.
It is necessary
- - readings of the water meter;
- - a receipt for payment or an invoice from a service provider (operator for receiving payments);
- - fountain pen;
- - paper;
- - calculator (not in all cases).
Instructions
Step 1
Record the current meter readings at the end of the month or directly on the day of payment. It is better to write them down on a piece of paper or in an electronic notebook. Or try to remember.
Step 2
Submit meter readings to your hot water supplier, management company, or billing agent if included in the billing process for your area. For the deadline when this can be done, check with the supplier, agent or management company. For example, in Moscow, paper with instrument readings must be taken to the management company or sent there by fax before a certain date of each month. Otherwise, the invoice will be issued according to the standard, based on the number of residents registered in the apartment.
Step 3
Wait for the invoice and pay it in any convenient way: through Sberbank or another credit organization that accepts utility payments, by mail, by credit card, through Internet banking, an instant payment terminal or electronic payment systems - depending on the set of payment options available in your region …
Step 4
Subtract the values paid last time from the current meter readings, if the customer is to calculate the payment amount in your region. For example, if the last time you paid based on the readings of 1400, and at the time of the current payment, 1500 has already accumulated, then you have used 100 cubic meters of hot water.
Step 5
Multiply the resulting difference by the price of one cubic meter of hot water. You can check the current prices with the management company, with a service provider or an agent for receiving payments in his favor. They are also published in local media and on the websites of local authorities and services in the field of housing and communal services.
Step 6
Pay the resulting amount in the most convenient way for you.
