What numbers on water meters need to be read when transmitting readings

Reading example

A small example of how to correctly enter the testimony on the receipt. We determine which water supply system the meter is connected to. We look at the color of the case or the rim of the instrument scale: red - cold water, blue - hot. Universal black water meters are installed on any of the systems. Then they check the temperature of the pipe by hand, open the tap, see which meter is spinning.

Form of filling out a receipt.

• We fill in the columns with the address, full name, if any;
• indicate the date of withdrawal of the testimony;
• record the current values ​​​​of water consumption.

Download a sample completed receipt.

Suppose, on the cold water meter in January, on the reporting date, there were numbers 00078634, the last 3 are liters.

00079 is written on the receipt (0.6 cubic meters (634 liters) are rounded up).

A month later, the readings change. For February, the numbers will appear on the counter 00085213, the receipt must indicate 00085. When calculating the cost of cold water, the difference between the two readings will be taken into account: the previous one and on the date the receipt was filled out: 00085 - 00079 = 6 (m3). For calculation, let's take the price of 1 cube 38.06 rubles. We multiply the price by 6 m3, we get 228.36 rubles payable for 1 month.

Ways to transfer water readings

There are several ways to transfer water readings, you can choose the most convenient one for yourself, depending on your usual instruments.

Receiving data from citizens via the Internet was at one time a real breakthrough for the housing and communal services sector. In your personal account on the site, you can not only transfer the current readings of water meters, but also find out the dates of verification of meters and see past readings.

To transfer the readings of hot and cold water meters through the site, you need to:

1. Register on the site or log in

2. Find among the services “Reception of water meter readings”

3. In the form that opens, enter the payer code from your SPD (single payment document) and the apartment number.

4. Enter meter reading

Via mobile app

The Government of Moscow has released a mobile application “Gosuslugi Moskvy” so that you don’t even need to turn on your computer to send data. To submit meter readings on water consumption using a smartphone, you need to:
Install this application on your phone, it is available for Android and iOS

Mobile application "Gosuslugi Moskvy" in the Play Market

This method is best suited for people who are not good at working with a computer and mobile phone. It is enough just to come to the district center of public services “My Documents” and contact the receptionist. The employee will give you a number in the queue, according to which you will be called further.

Don't forget to take with you:

• The passport
• Cold water meter readings
• Hot water meter readings

At the office of the management company

If you receive in the mail not the Unified Payment Document of Moscow, but another invoice for housing and communal services, then you should contact your management company to submit water meter readings. If you do not know her address, you can get all the information on the website

By phone

In Moscow, there is a unified service department for receiving readings from individual metering devices. Phone: +7 495 539-25-25.Opening hours: around the clock every month from the 15th to the 3rd of the next month.

By SMS

To send data from water meters via SMS, you must first register your payer code. All outgoing and incoming SMS are free.

To register the payer code, you need to send an SMS message to the number 7377 with the following text: water kp XXXXXXXXXX apartment Y

Instead of XXXXXXXXXX, you need to enter the payer code from a single payment document, instead of Y - the apartment number.

When the registration is passed, you can send data from the counters. To transfer current readings, you need to send an SMS message to number 7377 with the text: water add XXX YYY

Instead of XXX, enter the readings of the cold water meter, instead of YYY - hot.

Also, this SMS service can send reminders about the submission of water meter readings. To subscribe to them, send an SMS to number 7377 with the text: water remind

To get information about meter readings for the last month, the text of the message should be as follows: water info last

Step-by-step instructions for calculating the consumption of hot and cold water in an apartment

When installing metering devices, you should inform the management company or the resource supply organization (depending on who the consumption contract is concluded with) about their presence in the apartment. After that, you need to report the initial readings on the counters. These will be the first 5 digits of the black segment of the scale.

Further actions:

1. The previous or initial ones are subtracted from the last readings. The resulting figure is the water consumption for a certain period in cubic meters.
2. Submit current testimony to the Criminal Code in person, by phone or electronically.
3. Multiply the number of cubes consumed by the tariff of 1 m3 of cold water.The amount payable will be obtained, which, ideally, should converge with the amount in the receipt from the Criminal Code.

The calculation formula looks like this: NP - PP \u003d PKV (m3) PKV X tariff \u003d CO, where:

• NP - real testimony;
• PP - previous readings;
• PCV - consumed amount of water in cubic meters;
• SO - the amount to be paid.

The tariff for cold water consists of two tariffs: for water disposal and water consumption. You can find out each of them on the website of the water supply organization or your management company.

For example: a new meter for cold water is installed in the apartment. The scale of the metering device consists of 8 digits - five on a black background and 3 on a red one. The initial readings during installation are 00002175. Of these, the black numbers are 00002. They should be transferred along with information about installing the meter to the Criminal Code.

A month later, the numbers 00008890 appeared on the counter. Of these:

• 00008 on black scale;
• 890 - on red.

890 is a volume exceeding 500 liters, so 1 should be added to the last digit of the black scale. Thus, the figure 00009 is obtained on the dark sector. This data is transmitted to the Criminal Code.

Consumption calculation: 9-2=7. This means that in a month the family members “drank and poured out” 7 cubic meters of water. Next, we multiply the quantity by the tariff, we get the amount payable.

The rules for hot water are similar to those for cold water:

• take readings (all numbers up to the red scale) from the counter;
• round the last number to one, discarding or adding liters of the red part of the scale;
• subtract current readings from previous readings;
• multiply the resulting number by the rate.

An example of a calculation using a meter of the 2nd type with a scale of 5 digits and three displays of displacement: in the receipt for the last month, the last reading of the hot water meter is 35 cubic meters.On the day of data collection, the scale numbers are 37 cubic meters. m.

On the far right of the dial, the pointer is on the number 2. The next display shows the number 8. The last of the measuring windows shows the number 4.

Consumed in liters:

• 200 liters, according to the first circular scale (it shows hundreds);
• 80 liters - on the second (shows dozens);
• 4 liters - readings of the third scale, which shows units.

Total for the billing period, the consumption of hot water amounted to 2 cubic meters. m. and 284 liters. Since 284 liters is less than 0.5 cubic meters of water, this figure should simply be discarded.

When transferring data to Vodokanal or UK, indicate the last reading - 37. To find out the amount payable - multiply the number by the tariff.

The main advantages of installing water meters

For those who have not yet decided whether they need meters, check your receipts and receipts of neighbors who have metering devices in the apartment. You will see a huge difference: the neighbors' amount will be one and a half to two times less than yours.

Experts have calculated what actions an ordinary person performs every month using water:

1. Presses the toilet flush - 118 times.
2. Uses the sink - 107 times.
3. Takes a shower - 25 times.
4. Takes a bath - 4 times.
5. Washes dishes - 95 times.

In general, water meters have advantages:

• You monitor water consumption, you can control every cubic meter.
• With the help of the counter it is easy to save the family budget.
• If you have not been in the apartment for a long time, then you do not need to pay a fee, and you do not need to report for your absence from home.
• You do not need to pay the debts of housemates and pay extra for accrued interest.

What are counters?

There are many varieties of counting nodes, but the main part of the design is arranged according to a similar principle. It is based on a rotary mechanism, the full revolution of which is equal to a certain volume of water consumption. The front panel has a flow dial and a motion indicator, which can be used to easily determine the performance of the device.

The front side of the meters is marked with the maximum temperature allowed during operation. For devices that take into account cold water (blue), the limit is 30 ° C, hot (red) - 90 ° C. On universal devices, the range from 5 to 90 ° C is indicated.

Each device is assigned a serial number. The fixture's digital display may have 8 digits or less, depending on the manufacturer.

Remote transmission of water meter readings: the principle of operation of the device

To date, on sale you can find a huge variety of different models of water measuring devices that can transmit readings at a distance. They differ from each other in their design, cost, as well as the technology that allows remote sending of data.

Smart water meters, which have the option of transmitting data at a distance, most often have a pulse output. They also include a magnetic device and a special sensor. These elements are fixed on the part of the device that is in motion during its operation. As a result, it becomes possible to register the amount of liquid.

The pulses that occur during the movement of the elements of the water-measuring device enter the receiving module.This element is responsible for recording these signals, as well as modifying them into a more convenient form for reading.

The design of water meters that transmit readings includes a magnetic device and a special sensor

There are also more technological models of smart water measuring devices. For example, those that allow you to broadcast data over the air. In this case, readings are transmitted to special external devices or to the worldwide network.

Water meter transmitting readings via radio

Models that transmit data over a radio channel are the most popular, as they are highly reliable. An example is the SVK 15-3-2 model, which has a special radio module in its design. In this case, remote data sending is performed via the LPWAN brand radio channel.

Monitoring of data transmitted by such a device is carried out via the Internet. Water meters with remote reading This type allows you to determine the amount of fluid consumed with high accuracy. Models with a radio module are used in both cold and hot water supply networks.

Each such device includes two main elements: a modem and a counter. This design is an advantage, as it makes it possible to reduce the cost of the device and the cost of its installation. Power supplies used in such flowmeters usually have a long service life (up to 10 years under normal conditions of use).

The meter with a radio channel module performs remote monitoring of water consumption data via the Internet

Receiving readings from hot and cold water meters is carried out at a distance of up to 10 km. Such a communication range eliminates the need for additional equipment (for example, repeaters).

One of the main advantages of a flowmeter equipped with a radio module is the absence of a reed switch. Pulse water meters, which include this element in their design, fail much more often. Models with a radio module have a special sensor that registers the number of revolutions. It contains an optical element that has a long service life.

Another advantage of flowmeters with a radio module is their ease of installation. In addition, when purchasing such a device, there is no need for its calibration, as well as programming. This water meter allows you to track all the necessary data via the Internet, which is very convenient.

Methods of giving testimony

You can submit information about the consumed resource in several ways: on the Internet using various resources, by phone and in writing. The choice of method depends on the capabilities of the utility user.

By receipt

Each receipt for the rent has special fields and a tear-off sheet, which provides for the entry of data received from water meters. They should be written carefully and legibly. In the case of incorrectly filed testimony, it will be problematic to correct them. It is necessary to enter the current information of the counter up to a comma, rounding is possible. To calculate the water disposal, it is necessary to add up the consumption of hot and cold water, but often this is already done by the supply organization or management company itself.

By phone

One of the most convenient ways to transfer data is to make a phone call to the Criminal Code. Calls are accepted from 8 am to 8 pm. The user will be required to indicate the full name, address, personal account number and the testimony itself.

Also, information can be provided directly to the accounting department of the management company or water utility by calling the numbers indicated on the receipt.

Through the Internet

You can submit data via the Internet using the capabilities of several sites.

Through the website "Gosuslugi"

Before submitting water meter readings through public services, you need to register and get a login and password to enter the resource, then you need to log in to it. After entering, select the section "Receiving readings from water meters". In the open window, you will need to enter the payer number (personal account). If the account is entered correctly, there will be an automatic transition to the page for entering readings.

Through the website of the service company

Most HOA, UK and ZhEK have their own websites with a section for transmitting water meter indicators. Also on such sites it is possible to view the history of payments, utility rates and general information.

Via mobile app

For various operating systems, a mobile application "Gosuslugi" was developed, transmitting data to the EIRC. To use this method, you need to install the application, register and enter personal data.

Through EIRC

The EIRC stores data on all real estate objects, including apartment buildings, utility bills, debts, etc. To transfer information through the service, you also need to register on the site to gain access to the Personal Account (PA).To register the entrance to the personal account, you need to visit the MFC or a local service center once and provide the primary information about the payer: full name, address, cell phone and email. In the LC, you need to find the tab “Receiving readings from cold and hot water meters”, and then specify the IPU data. Information in the EIRC can also be provided in person and by phone.

In a special box

Such boxes are located in the offices of the Criminal Code. It should be written in legible handwriting indicating the address of the payer, the number and series of IPU, the date of verification and taking of testimony, as well as the testimony itself. You can submit information using the sample:

Transferring water meter readings through the State Services portal

Data cited by various sources indicates that apartment owners are increasingly turning to the Internet in order to transmit flow meter readings. Residents of the Russian Federation can use the Gosuslugi portal, which guarantees data confidentiality.

It is recommended to transmit hot and cold water consumption readings from the 15th day of the current month to the 3rd day of the next month

Using this site allows you to eliminate the inconvenience associated with the direct arrival at the office of the public utility. It is worth saying that this portal is not available for all regions of the Russian Federation. Most often, the question of how to submit water meter readings through the State Services is of interest to residents of the capital of Russia. First of all, you need to carefully read the registration procedure, which consists of several stages.

How is registration on this portal? The first thing you need to do is go to the site. To do this, you need to drive the appropriate query into the search bar of the browser. Next, go to the "Personal Account" column.You can transfer the readings of the water meter by entering them in this column. It is located in the upper right corner on the main page of the site.

The next step involves the direct registration. To do this, click on the appropriate button, which should appear at the bottom of the screen after entering the account. After completing this procedure, it will be possible to transfer data on water.

The service allows you to transfer water meter readings, find out the dates of meter verification and view the archive of transferred readings

Transfer of water meter readings: portal personal account, operation nuances

As mentioned above, in order to go to personal account, you need to go through the step-by-step registration operation. Using the site "Gosuslugi" requires familiarization with some of the nuances.For example, the consumer should understand that this portal only accepts readings from certain regions. Therefore, the first thing to do is to ask if it is possible to send data in a particular locality.

It is recommended to submit readings of hot water meters, as well as devices installed on cold water pipelines, monthly, without interruptions. When replacing a water measuring device, it is necessary to register a new flow meter. And only after that, the transfer of primary information recorded by the device is allowed.

The service, which allows you to transfer the readings of the flow meter using such a portal, is provided exclusively to individuals. If the user has not submitted testimony through the "Gosuslugi" for more than 3 months, then it is necessary to notify the utility organization about changing the payment option. After that, you can enter the readings of water meters at any time convenient for the user.

To enter your personal account, you need to go through a step-by-step registration operation on the State Services website

It is strictly forbidden to enter data that does not correspond to the actual data recorded by the water measuring device.

You should also pay attention to what characters are allowed to be entered when giving testimony. In addition to Arabic letters, the following characters can be used:

• point;
• comma.

The billing period usually starts on the 15th. The end of the interval during which meter readings can be entered is set by the utilities. Most often this date falls on the 3rd.

The site has some restrictions. For example, you are allowed to enter no more than 7 characters (before the comma).The water consumption recorded by the meter should not be higher than the norm regulated by state documentation.

You cannot enter readings if you have a new meter installed

How to correctly take readings of the device

Even a child can easily cope with the task, but at the initial stage, even the most “experienced” specialist needs to be instructed.

And you will have to act according to the following algorithm:

1. Meter identification. Hot and cold water metering devices usually differ in body color, but in some cases the same water meters can be used. According to the standard, the hot water pipe usually goes above the cold one, but these assumptions can also be verified empirically by opening the tap - whichever device works, there is hot water.
2. Taking evidence. On the body of the water meter there is a counting mechanism, where the flow rate is shown in cubic meters and liters. These indicators must be read and provided to the inspector.

Reporting should be done once a month

Water meters rarely fail, but they are sensitive to even minor leaks. Therefore, if it seems that the device winds up too much water, it is necessary to check the serviceability of the faucets, drain tank, etc. Most often, it is their failure that is to blame. If everything is in order, you can make a premature verification of the counting device. Remove, check and re-install it should be representatives of the appropriate organization.

What numbers need to be written off from the water meter

All counters, regardless of the manufacturer, are very similar to each other, so taking readings will not be difficult.The question lies elsewhere: how to correctly record the received data and which of them should be taken into account.

In front of him on the case, the user can see eight numbers at once, five of which are painted black, and three are red. The latter denote liters that are of no interest to utilities. The scale shows the current consumption, which is more relevant for the owners. For the calculation, cubic meters are taken.

Meter readings can be transmitted via the Internet

To correctly calculate the readings, it is advisable to follow a few simple rules:

• You need to write off only the numbers that at the time of taking the readings are exactly;
• Liters do not need to be recorded on the payment receipt, but they must be taken into account according to the rounding rules;
• Indications must be taken monthly on the same day (mainly on the first day of the month).

Periodically, an inspector may come to the house for verification, who will make sure that the data transmitted is correct. In 99% of cases, the readings completely match and mean that the owner of the house performs all the actions absolutely correctly.

No matter how trite it may be, but before starting to use the meter, it is advisable to read the instructions, where there is usually even a clear example of the correct reading. After such a detailed presentation, questions usually disappear by themselves.

How to record readings

It is not enough just to determine how many cubic meters of water were used in the apartment

It is also important to submit the data correctly. At the initial start-up of individual metering devices, the data is reset to zero, so it will be very easy to read the readings in the first month - just write down the number of cubes received and, taking the sample as a basis, fill out the receipt

In the future, it will be necessary to make a calculation - subtract the previous ones from the current reading. So it will turn out to calculate the real water consumption.

When transferring meter readings, you should be careful

When filling out the receipt, you need to be extremely careful:

• The numbers should be written as legibly as possible;
• The billing month is written in cursive without fail;
• Making corrections is strictly prohibited!

The vast majority of misunderstandings arise from incorrectly completed receipts. Before handing them over for payment, you need to carefully double-check all the entered data.
