Sky-high water prices stun homeowners with meter installations: 200 rubles per cubic meter

In the ever-changing world of bills and expenses, it's essential to stay informed and proactive. Recently, a concerning issue has been uncovered in utility bills that could be costing you more than you think.

It turns out that outdated water meters in some buildings, particularly those from the 1950s and 1960s, do not measure the temperature of the water. As a result, even when you're using cold water, you might be charged according to the hot water tariff, which could lead to overpayments of up to 150 rubles per cubic meter.

For a family using two cubic meters of water per day during outages, this could mean an overpayment of around 300 rubles a day. With higher consumption, the amount can reach 1000-1500 rubles per day.

The good news is that there's a solution to this issue. Modern heat energy metering units with temperature control functions can be installed. The cost of such work for one entrance is approximately 350-500 thousand rubles.

However, a more immediate concern might be the introduction of a new, unwanted item in your utility bills. This potential increase in costs could amount to a minimum of 3,300 rubles per square meter.

Remember, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on your bills and question any unusual charges. If you suspect an error, don't hesitate to contact your utility provider.

On a separate note, it's worth mentioning that the main news of Russia is now available on Telegram. Stay informed and stay updated!

Lastly, it's important to note that a 3,000 ruble fine is imposed for storing certain items in apartments, according to utility services. So, let's keep our homes clean and clutter-free!

As for your bank account, you'll be pleased to know that money will be returned starting from September 6th for some services, as indicated by an SMS from the bank.

Stay vigilant, and remember, every ruble saved is a ruble earned!
