In our country, residents of apartment buildings for a long time paid for water supply according to the testimony of only a common house meter. Most often it was installed in the basement, but this option was far from the fairest, because someone consumed more water, someone less, and they paid the same.
In order to make such utility payments closer to fairness, norms have been developed consumption per person, and in places where individual water meters are not installed, they also act this day.
Cold water
When developing this standard, all human needs were taken into account. This includes taking a shower, bath, cooking, washing and other hygiene procedures, wet cleaning the house, using the toilet and other unforeseen needs. To take a shower usually requires from 15 to 25 liters of water, and according to the standards, a person takes a shower 25 times a month. To take a bath, it takes 200 liters of water. The monthly norm for washing and brushing your teeth is at least 200 liters, and about 3 liters of water is required to prepare food for one person per day. Norms may vary depending on the region of residence, often regional authorities set their own standards; season, climatic conditions. However, even taking into account all these parameters, the norms cannot be more than doubled.
How to save
Given the norms of water consumption for each person, if a family with young children lives in the apartment, it is most beneficial to install individual meters. Sometimes this can reduce the cost of utility bills for water by almost half. Someone takes such a step, someone believes that it is more profitable to pay for a person, that is, according to the norm. In fact, as practice shows, even if two people live in an apartment, it is still more profitable to install a counter, especially if you periodically leave for a while.
On average, in Russia the norm of cold water per person is 6 cubic meters, hot water - 3 cubic meters. According to the standards, the same amount is allocated to wastewater disposal. In fact, such a norm is enough for a comfortable stay of 2-3 people, so installing a meter is more than justified.
There are special nozzles that will allow you to save water more economically, and this is an additional saving of 20-50%.
