Step-by-step instruction
The meter installation process requires documentation. You have the right to install the device yourself, but in this case you will have to spend more time and effort on the registration procedure. It is much wiser to delegate the installation task to a professional company, then the specialists themselves will provide you with the appropriate package of papers. has all the necessary approvals and provides the customer with a full package of documents after installing water meters.
Next, the owner with the issued papers goes to the management company at his place of residence. Employees of the organization register an act authorizing the launch of the meter into operation. A similar document is issued when an old device is replaced with a new one.
With the same package of documentation you go to the EIRC. This institution will draw up an agreement for payment for hot and cold water supply. You will also carry documents there after each check of water meters, so remember well the address and contacts of this organization. The registration procedure itself is quick and does not cause any difficulties.

Forget about deadlines for submitting testimony.
Order
So, we figured out where to carry the certificates of inspection and installation of devices. Now let's find out what is included in the package of documents.
You will need the following papers:
- An official agreement with the company that installed the device.
- Acceptance certificate for completed work.
- Act on permission to put the water meter into operation - make three copies.
- Flowmeter data sheet.
Please note that each of the two devices installed in your apartment must have a separate passport. EIRC employees will need the serial numbers of water metering devices and their readings at the time of installation. This is necessary to take into account water consumption readings.
During the process of registering equipment, EIRC employees will enter the following information into their database:
- Unit release date.
- Its serial number (it is indicated in the technical passport of the meter).
- Date of installation of the device in your home.
- Indications at the time of installation.
Those who install the unit themselves do the same things with the documents. They visit the management company and the EIRC, carry out all procedures for registering devices and transmitting information. Before submitting documents, do not forget to invite an employee of the management company or another similar organization responsible for accounting for water metering equipment. The specialist will check the correct installation of the unit, put seals on it and provide you with registration documents.
Counter registration
In fact, the process of registering a device is quite simple when you have all the necessary documentation at your disposal. The most difficult process is the actual installation of the meter, which, by the way, should always be carried out by a special company. And only after this you need to think about sealing the device.
This should be done by the management company responsible for any maintenance processes in your home. An equivalent alternative is direct submission of documents to a special center. The main thing is not to contact those companies that are blacklisted for water metering companies in Moscow.
At the management company, you will sign an agreement drawn up there on payment for water consumption services, taking into account the indicators that you will regularly send to the information and settlement center. This is necessary if you want to pay your bill based on water consumption.
Of course, to transfer, draw up and sign any documentation, you must appear in person at your management company or center, but do not solve this problem via the Internet. But you can send readings using a special online service or using telephone communication.
Payments can be easily made either at the nearest bank or using the Internet. You will spend the freed time on more useful things than queuing at the payment center.
Checking counters
Finding out when to check is easy: add 4 years to the date of the last test for cold water appliances and 6 years for hot water meters.
There are several ways to check the device for serviceability:
- Contact your water supply company. They will send an employee to take the meter and send it to a laboratory for testing.
- Order testing of the unit from a private company that has accreditation.
- Order a home inspection. Some companies have portable laboratories that allow you to check the health of equipment at home without dismantling it.
Remember that any inspection requires careful documentation. If the device is working properly, the specialist who carried out the test must record this on the appropriate paper. The homeowner receives two copies of the inspection report. One keeps it for himself (so as not to forget about the date of the next inspection), the other takes it to the EIRC.
If for some reason you do not submit documents to this organization, the data in the system will not be updated, which may lead to undesirable consequences. If you want payment to be calculated based on instrument readings, and not according to average data, do not forget to register the act of installing and checking the instruments.

Fines and recalculations. What happens if you do not transmit meter readings?
And here you have questions. Where do these hot water consumption volumes come from? How were they calculated? If you start transmitting readings again and they do not coincide with previous accruals, will the management company (MC) recalculate? Are there any fines for owners who do not provide water meter readings?
Let's figure it out
If you have a hot water meter and do not transmit its readings, then they cannot punish you with a fine. You can relax, but you shouldn't. Consumption volumes will first be calculated according to average monthly readings, and then according to consumption standards. They are approved by the executive authorities of each constituent entity of the Russian Federation. That is, in each region and even city or village, these standards differ.
- To calculate based on average monthly readings, the volume of hot water consumption over the previous six months is divided by six months and the average value is obtained. This is what the Criminal Code will indicate on the receipt for three months.
- After three months, if apartment meter readings are still not transmitted, charges for hot water will begin to be charged based on consumption standards. The value of the standard depends on many factors; you can find the exact figures on your city’s website.
From the experience of residents: on average, the volume of hot water consumption for a family of two people according to the standard is 1.5 times higher than the actual consumption according to the meter.
Accrual according to the standard will continue until you submit your testimony and check with the management company.
A little about the consequences
If you do not submit meter readings for six months in a row, the management organization is obliged to check the meters and take the readings. This means that you will have to set aside time for a visit from a management company employee to check the meters.
This is not a whim, but a norm enshrined in law. You can view it in the “Rules for the provision of utility services to owners and users of premises in apartment buildings and residential buildings” (approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 6, 2011 No. 354).
In addition, in order to carry out recalculations, in many cases it is necessary to contact the management organization with a written application and confirm the current meter readings. It also takes time. In the end, you will still pay for the volume of hot water that you consumed, but just proving this and waiting for recalculation will most likely be somewhat difficult.
We remind you that in accordance with the provisions of Article 155 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, payment of utility bills must be made before the 10th day of the month following the previous month.
When and how can Barnaul residents submit testimony?
Indications for used hot water must be submitted by the 25th of each month. There are many ways to transmit readings; below are the possible options.
The most convenient way to submit testimony is to use the City System personal account on the website or in the smartphone application. There is no need to call and wait for your turn, and also worry whether the testimony has been received by the CC staff.
It also allows you to:
- view statistics of meter readings,
- analyze hot water consumption over the past months,
- see the recalculation carried out,
- pay utility bills without leaving home,
- receive an extract from your personal account,
- here you can refuse to receive a paper receipt and securely receive receipts for utility payments by email.
If it is not possible to use the personal account of the City System, then you can transfer the readings:
- through its managing organization: chat, email or mailbox;
- through the Housing and Public Utilities Computing Center by calling the multi-channel number.
Recommendations
The consumer, especially when installing the device independently, is recommended to adhere to the following tips:
- it is necessary to prepare for replacing the water meter in advance so as not to exceed the service life;
- Before purchasing a device, you should consult with specialists from the management company regarding the choice of device model and study the technical characteristics of the meter for compliance with operating conditions;
- before starting installation, it is necessary to study in detail the provisions of the passport or operating manual in order to take into account the manufacturer’s requirements for installation;
- installation is carried out with the water supply taps closed;
- the device is installed taking into account the arrow on the body indicating the direction of water supply, and is positioned so that the front panel is as accessible as possible for viewing;
- The union nuts are tightened evenly, with the gaskets tightly compressed, ensuring the tightness of the connections.
Timely replacement will allow the consumer to use the water meter readings when paying for consumed resources. But if you are late in installing a new device, the readings of the old one will be considered invalid, with corresponding consequences for the owner.

Self-replacement
The law does not prohibit the owner from installing the device himself. In this case, the owner must act in the following order:
- Contact the management company with a statement about the need to replace the meter.
- An employee of the management company will check the integrity of the factory seals on the water meter, issuing the appropriate report.
- Remove the old device and install a new one.
- Submit an application to the Criminal Code for the installation of seals.
- Having agreed on the day, accept an employee of the Management Company to seal the meter, with the execution of the corresponding act.
Sequence of actions when installing the device:
Otherwise, the replacement is performed in the same way. But it is impossible to do without representatives of the management company, since they must document the serviceability of the new device and the correctness of its installation, and install protective seals.
