Let's consider everything detailed on the example of water payment. Every month owners of apartments get from mailbox the receipt on payment of utilities, in particular, for water disposal and also for hot and cold water. Sometimes tariffs surprise how to understand cunning digits and charges?

If you have installed all-house metering devices or personal counters of water in the apartment, then calculate the amount of expenses as follows: put amount of the spent hot and cold water and increase by the tariff applicable for your place of residence. If metering devices at you are absent, then calculate the cost according to the standard from each resident of your apartment (the standard depends on category of the house in which you live).

2. Cold water supply and hot water. Calculate the cost according to tariff, it will depend on category of the house in which you live. If in the house there is all-house metering device on cold and hot water, then in the receipt you will see designations HVS DPU and GV DPU.
