150,000 households can apply for "water meter exit"

Recently, many people have reported to this newspaper that the tap water meter of their home is indoors and it is inconvenient to copy water charges. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the municipal water service company's community service site that such users can now apply for “water meters”.

“Don't dare to let people in, see a brand, and have a form before letting him in.” Aunt Shen, who lives in the Nanhang Dormitory on No. 30 Yu Dao Street, told reporters that she was confronted with a copy whenever she was afraid to put a bad person in the door. When the table is not at ease. In addition, occasionally going out, I'm afraid that meter readers can't copy the meter, and it's also troublesome. I have to mess with the neighbors to tell them.

According to the water supply department, at present, there are nearly 150,000 users like Shen Aunt who are in Nanjing. Most of these users chose the relatively low-cost “entering house” when Nanjing just started tapping the meter-to-house conversion of tap water in 1999. "Change form" means that the original water supply pipe will not be remodeled, and only the original water meter will be replaced.

Over time, the drawbacks of “entry to the table” began to appear. Including admission meter reading is not convenient, affect the decoration and other transformation. In addition, users of the “Family Change Form” user's pipeline are not allowed to use galvanized water pipes that have been explicitly eliminated by the country. In addition, the maintenance responsibility for “incoming table changes” shall be borne by the property rights department or the property management department. In the event of water leakage in the water intake pipe or water tank, the normal domestic water consumption will be affected due to failure to timely repair.

The water supply department reminded the public that the current “entry form” that meets the conditions may again choose to apply for the “Water Meter Exit” transformation. The users of multi-storey residential buildings, who meet the conditions, may apply for the transformation of the household table individually. If the user's residence and unit use a total water meter, first the original unit needs to apply to the water supply company for the “metering to household” formalities. After the conditions are met, the residence part will be rebuilt for the water meter. For a unit user's opinion is not uniform, the water company has also given the corresponding policy, that is, 60% of the units in the unit can be modified. At the same time, a small number of households that are unwilling to reform are reserved for an interface, and they can apply for a water meter to exit in the future.
