Official verification of water meters
According to Russian legislation, it is necessary to check water meters during certain periods. So, if we talk about cold water, then the meters must be checked every six years. Whereas there are deadlines for hot water – once every four years. The cost of checking the water meter is fixed. It does not depend on the type of meter itself. What features this process has, read in this article.
Features of checking cold and hot water meters
As we explained earlier, meter verification must be carried out within a certain time frame. However, if you find any problems with their work, you need to deviate from the schedule and contact them yourself for troubleshooting.
The accuracy of meter readings is an important indicator, since the monthly payment for water depends on it. To determine the accuracy of the devices, it is necessary to contact a special authority, the metrological service, which is accredited. In this organization, the operability of metering devices will be checked. This will allow you to determine whether the device needs to be repaired or whether a new unit needs to be purchased.
How is the verification carried out?
Meter verification usually does not take much time. After it is performed, the client receives a protocol with measurement results. It can be transferred to the management company. Verification can be carried out at home. For this purpose, a date and a convenient time are agreed upon in advance. It takes no more than half an hour.
If there are several metering devices in the apartment, it is recommended to check everything. This way you can save not only time, but also money. Usually, special conditions are offered for comprehensive verification that are beneficial to customers. Qualified craftsmen who have the appropriate certificates and certificates leave for verification. Therefore, clients can verify the professional qualifications of the specialists.
Thus, if you need to have a water meter checked, you should not delay this process for a long time.
