Rules for using water meters

According to ТСН: The water meter must work properly, so sealing it is a mandatory element. The seal certifies that the device has not been damaged and that no one has interfered with its operation. This is important evidence of the correct use of the water meter.

In case of interference with the seal, the consumer may face a fine: from 1,700 to 3,400 UAH for individuals and from 8,500 to 17,000 UAH for legal entities.

The amount of the fine depends on the circumstances under which the seal was broken - accidentally or intentionally.

If the seal is removed accidentally, it is necessary to immediately contact the water utility, document the meter readings, and submit the appropriate application.

After checking, the water utility will install a new seal and draw up a report confirming the device's integrity.

Previously, questions were discussed regarding how to correctly read water meter readings.

Consumers should be aware of the importance of adhering to the rules for using water meters, as this not only helps avoid fines but also ensures accurate accounting of water. Proper sealing and timely notification of the water utility about any malfunctions guarantee the uninterrupted and correct operation of accounting devices.
