A few months in the capital will rise significantly water rates. Remember some of the available methods of saving funds on this and some other communal resources.
“Mosvodokanal” has informed the public that costs for water will be raised from 1 July 2017. According to some, instead of the current 33.03 ruble cubic meter of life-giving water will cost the capital’s residents already in 36,89 roubles. If this information is correct, the growth will be more than 11.5%. A reasonable question arises — how this correlates with the recently disclosed intentions of the Russian Government to increase tariffs on utility services at the rate of inflation (this “SP” was told in the material from 23 September “no Money, but you pay”). It turns out that inflation will reach those most at 11.5% (which is considerably above the maximum predicted level), and now we know the officials, or, as one well-known hero of the popular domestic cartoon, “one of two”.
However, as he sang in his time in the Russian film another famous hero, to “speculate on the price not on me.” Better leave this rhetorical question aside and once again let’s recap the ways to save public resources available to ordinary citizens. Some, by the way, we already told you last year, so everyone can refresh their memory, after reviewing the material from September 5, 2015 “How to save water”.
Honestly, hacking, is not in conflict with the law and not entailing administrative responsibility, there are not so much.
Even the “heavy artillery” in the person of experts of roszhkh included in his well-known principles of the Fund of struggle against corruption (FBK), originality and variety of recommendations on this point does not Shine. However, a grain of truth in them is still there.
So, if the apartment has individual meters, their readings are strongly recommended to transfer virtually “on the sixth signal from the radio.” Because want to be late with this case, at least for one day, the next month the payment for water will be calculated on the basis of the rate with increased efficiency. So forgetful it is time to set the alarm or put “reminder” on the 25th of each month.
And while it is best to make friends with the Internet. Because, say representatives Roszhkh, indications, transferred on paper, it can suddenly “lost” and then Buh-bye. In this case, again, next month the consumer will be charged a fee based on the average size of the resource consumption over the past six months.
If the metering devices in the apartment do not exist, then the owner should make it a rule to document every fact of a long absence at the permanent place of residence. Because to get cash center allocation is possible only thus: submitting an application and attaching mandatory any supporting documents with official status from the foreign of visas to help with the seal of the Board of the garden Association.
Finally, representatives of the FCO reminded that citizens have a right not to pay for communal resource if its quality does not meet the standard. In relation to hot water one of the main characteristics of high — quality standards- its temperature (not below 60 degrees Celsius). If not, then you need to demand either of its dongria or payment allocation.
As for the cold water, the key parameter is probably not the temperature and the pressure. Of course, it is necessary to measure using the appropriate tools (in particular, gauge). Think about this, when placed under the tap three-liter jar is filled to the brim with more than eight and a half seconds.
However, in the latter case, as practice shows, can happen in real trouble. For example, a resident of the Moscow region Alexander L., dissatisfied with the very degree of water pressure in the bathroom, summoned the representatives of the management company. As a result, he stated: with the pressure in the service lines all right, and to blame the mixer, recently established by the owner of the dwelling. So let the first owner will first give the report of independent experts that this German accessory fully complies with Russian standards and when combined with domestic communication does not distort their technical parameters, and ponastavili here.
If water significantly save still does not work, then you can keep the family budget in other ways. For example, careful attitude to electricity.
Some experts suggest the issue beyond the incandescent and energy saving bulbs. They are a decent replacement LEDs. Compared to classical light sources, they are more economical to 65%, and with energy saving and fluorescent — 50%.
Experts in interior design are advised to register premises in bright colors. This will allow at least include artificial lighting and longer, use natural light (saving can reach 15%). By the way, for the same reasons, representatives of cleaning companies often advised to wash the window glass. It is a good idea to take a rule once a week to clean with a vacuum cleaner back walls of refrigerators and TV sets and desktop computers. Albeit slightly, but it also allows a bit to save on electricity consumption.
Experienced Housewives also give practical advice to owners of electric cooktops and ovens. These devices are, they emphasize, can be switched off around 5-7 minutes before end of estimated cooking time. This will not affect their quality due to the relatively high inertia podrobnoi equipment, and an extra penny in electricity bills will save.
If not all residential and non-residential premises in the house are equipped with individual heat meters, to save on heating will not work. However, it would be quite superfluous to check the size of the total area of the apartment in the payment and cadastral passport. The fact is that until 2005 it included an unheated loggias or balconies, and bring them “in parentheses” could only the Housing code. Who knows if the management company charges a fee for heating the “old way”, as they say, “to fool”. If this is the case — that’s a good reason to claim for recalculation.
