Water standards for 1 person. What water standards per person are paid without meters? Who sets standard values and how?
Documents from local government bodies, using tables SNiP, VNTP-N-97 and taking into account regulations, determine what standard for cold and hot water consumption per person without a meter is relevant in 2016, and record its increase.
When normative values apply
The standard water consumption without a meter per person is the value of the monthly volume of water consumption, which is used to establish the amount of payment in cases provided for by the Rules for the provision of utility services in clauses 24, 31, 32:
- lack of individual or communal metering devices,
- in case of long-term (more than six months) absence when providing water meter readings,
- if the owner systematically refuses to provide the resource supply company with indications,
- when replacing or repairing a faulty flow meter, etc.
The legislation of the Russian Federation obliges owners and management organizations to install water meters, since the amount of payment for utility services is calculated based on the volume recorded by water meters. When establishing two-component tariffs based on the consumption rate per person, it includes the consumption according to the standard of thermal energy required to heat the cold hydraulic flow. That is, the two-component tariff consists of the sum of the cost of the component of the cold water resource intended for heating, and the cost of the component of thermal energy used for heating.
However, in the absence of water meters or their failure, standard values are applied, approved, in accordance with the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, Article 157, paragraph 1, by local government bodies, for example, by orders of the Regional Tariff Department.
So, for example, social norms in Moscow 2016 calculated according to the standard are 4.745 m 3, cold - 6.935 m 3 and total - 11.68 m 3 per month. For comparison, in Novosibirsk in the same period of the first half of 2016, the following values were established, based on cubic meters per person per month:
- For houses where it is technically possible to install water meters - DHW: 5.162; Cold water: 7.270. Standard water consumption for general house needs (since April 2015) for hot water supply and hot water supply: 0.038.
- For houses where it is not technically possible to install water meters - hot water supply: 3.687, cold water supply: 5.193. Payment according to the standards of a common house water meter: 0.027.
Who sets standard values and how?
The rate of consumption of cold and hot water without a meter per person (daily and per month) 2015-2016 is determined according to the regulatory Rules for the consumption of utilities, approved by Resolution No. 306 of the Government of the Russian Federation. Specific values for the specified period are approved by authorized bodies, which include local government bodies. The basis is taken in detail in SNiP standards for consumption of cold and hot water by consumers, which, according to Appendix No. 3 (2.04.01-85), are treated with additional gradation:
- apartment-type residential buildings,
- dormitories,
- hospitals,
- sanatoriums and holiday homes,
- clinics,
- kindergartens,
- pioneer camps,
- laundries,
- administrative buildings,
- educational establishments,
- shops, etc.
SNiP describes standard values for 33 main parameters, which, for example, for apartment-type residential buildings include: the presence or absence of sewerage, gas supply, water supply, bathtub (and its size), centralized hot water supply and hot water supply, number of storeys parameter. Thus, using the example of the values established by the Department of the Novosibirsk Region for tariffs, we can illustrate the detail of the criteria in m 3 /1 person/month:
- residential premises with cold water and hot water supply, sewerage, bathrooms 1.5-1.7 m, showers, kitchen sinks, toilets and sinks: 5,162 and 7,270 m 3 for hot and cold water supply, respectively,
- with the same parameters, but without hot water: 9.058 m 3 (hot water),
- with a 1.2 m bath and hot and cold water supply: 4.169 and 6.467 m 3 respectively,
- and with the same parameters without a bath: 3.419 and 5.856 m 3 for hot water supply and cold water supply, respectively, etc.
Similar water consumption standards were introduced in VNTP-N-97 for consumers of agricultural water supply systems (population, farm animals, water standards for watering crops, processing products, maintenance, repairs, etc.). Here, the average daily water consumption per person per day describes in detail the standard values not only for the above parameters, but also for various procedures and household needs, depending on the climatic zone. So, for example, for residential buildings with centralized cold and hot water supply, shower, washbasins and bathtub 1.5-1.7 m in climate zones 3-4 (the maximum described) in l/day. following:
- total average daily water consumption: 250,
- drinking purposes and food preparation: 7,
- washing food and dishes: 35,
- personal hygiene: 30,
- bath/shower: 65,
- wash: 62,
- toilet cistern flush: 45.
In general, consumer housing and communal services standards depend on a number of factors, which are taken into account by local governments at the local level. In particular, seasonal needs are taken into account, to stabilize the accounting of which an unevenness coefficient has been introduced - the ratio of the maximum water consumption to the average.
Despite the fact that water-producing organizations have the status of water users and are directly related to the supply of the resource, they cannot directly influence the rates of consumption and payment for water without metering devices (without a meter).
The water user - an individual or legal entity with the right to use a water body - actually provides water supply services to consumers who are classified as municipal - code 042210 5 (in accordance with the All-Russian Classifier of Services approved by Resolution No. 163 of the State Standard of the Russian Federation). However, even if the water supply organization is both the owner of the well and the builder of, for example, a cottage community, the organization cannot independently set standards. At the same time, she can become the initiator of their approval by submitting a reasoned proposal to the self-government body, which takes this initiative into account.
What is the norm of water, or how many cubic meters are needed per person per month?
To understand how to calculate the rate of water consumption for yourself and your family, “individually”, you need to refer to the average water consumption tables and apply them to the parameters of your own home, adjusted for your personal water consumption regime, the number of people and the presence of “engineering tricks” in the apartment. So, taking as a basis the table given in RF PP No. 306 (see below), it is necessary:
- make a list of daily procedures related to water consumption,
- determine the average volume from the table,
- reduce it according to the corresponding indicator in cases where water savers are installed on the taps (http://water-save.com/) - by 7-10%, and by 30-40% if the flush in the drain tank is used in a lean “two-button” » mode,
- add up the resulting number of cubic meters for each procedure for each person in the apartment and multiply the result by the number of daily procedures.
If necessary, water consumption of washing machines and dishwashers in the amount of 0.7 m 3 / hour is added to the approximate calculations. At the same time, the actual amount of water consumption is, as a rule, less due to a reduction in the number of washes and more economical consumption during showering than the calculated volume of water consumption. For example, the estimated daily calculation for a family of 3 includes (in liters):
- taking a shower: 30-40*3 = 90-120,
- going to the toilet: 4-5*3*6 = 72-90,
- washing dishes with three meals a day: 3*35 = 105,
- washing products: 8-10,
- personal hygiene: 30*3 = 90,
- washing with a washing machine: 45,
- general apartment needs: 8-10
If the daily result is multiplied by 30 days for most procedures and by 2-4 for washing, you get about 12-13 thousand liters per month per family.
Despite clearly existing regulations in all sectors of the economy, such a general indicator as a standard for water consumption per person without a meter has not been developed. This is because throughout the country the population density varies by region. Therefore, each region has its own regulations. They are different in every district and city.
According to the rule, a certain amount of water is supplied to the city. The amount of water consumed by residents of apartments with installed water meters is taken into account. The calculated amount is subtracted from the total volume. The resulting number is divided by the number of people registered in a given living space. They bear the entire load of consumed water. This situation arises due to unauthorized consumption and water leaks. This is not the case in civilized countries; water meters are installed everywhere.
The consumption standard is calculated taking into account the increasing coefficient. The calculation takes into account the equipment of the bathroom and the presence of water heaters. The water consumption ratio of different regions differs due to the difference in water consumption in each region. The climate and the cost of fuel used to heat water are taken into account.
Where does the indicator of water consumption per person come from?
The average statistical norm of water consumption per person has been calculated:
- cold water – 6 m3;
- hot - 3 m3.
This is the monthly consumption rate.
The daily rate is 200 l - cold water, 100 l - hot water.
For comparison, you can focus on the fact that a regular bathtub holds 250 liters of water. If the average person does not take a bath every day, then the question of installing a meter may arise. Since this will be much more profitable, you will not have to pay for the overall water leakage rates.
Water consumption indicator includes:
- pipeline leak;
- city watering of lawns;
- consumption when extinguishing fires;
- illegal connections;
- leak inside the house.
Calculating the cost of water without a meter
You need to pay for water in each region based on the established tariff. The tariff for hot and cold water is multiplied by the number of people registered in a given living space. The resulting amount is the cost of water consumption.
When calculating the overall indicator for the region, the following are taken into account:
- fuel costs;
- profit;
- depreciation deductions;
- labor costs;
- raw materials and materials;
- tax deductions;
- rent;
- maintenance.
Indicators of water consumption and cost for different cities
The price of cold and hot water is calculated according to the same principle.

If we consider it conditionally, then the availability of water supply points should be taken into account when calculating. This is a complex procedure. In fact, everything is much simpler - the volume consumed by meters is calculated from the total volume of water consumed. The resulting figure is divided among the actual living citizens. This is an indicator of the rate of water consumption per person without a meter for a specific region.
Citizens without meters pay for two-thirds of their total water in this way. And actual consumption is not taken into account here.
Resolution No. 75-PP, which came into force at the end of February 2014, states that the water norm per person without a meter in 2016 cannot be more than 2 water consumption standards established in No. 566-PP of 1998. Namely:
- the norm of cold water per person per month is 6.935 m3 - all residents registered in the apartment are taken into account;
- without a meter, it is calculated on the basis that the norm is 4.745 m3 per person.
The specified rate of water consumption per person per month without a meter must be paid in full even if the owner of the apartment was absent and did not use water supply services for some period. To calculate how much water consumption should be paid to the cash register, you need to multiply the consumption rate by the number of people registered in the apartment or house, and then multiply by the cost (tariff) of 1 m3 of water.
We remember: the specified water consumption standard for 1 person cannot be exceeded by more than 2 times. That is, payment can be charged for 6.935 m3 × 2 and 4.745 m 3 × 2 for water consumption, and no more than 11.68 × 2 for wastewater disposal. At the same time, the cost of 1 m3 of water must be monitored by utility payers independently - it is approved annually by the Moscow government and indicated in receipts.
What was it like before, what is it now, or How to pay for water according to the new standards?
Until the norm for water consumption per person without a meter was introduced, Muscovites paid every month for the water consumed at home. What does it mean? The amount for the consumption of services was calculated based on volume, which in turn was determined as follows:
- the total volume of water consumed by the house was established - according to. If the meter is installed and registered, then charges are carried out strictly according to its data. According to the established standard, water is paid for without a meter - it is calculated separately for cold and hot substances;
- the total volume of the substance consumed by residents in whose apartments a meter was installed was taken from it - readings are submitted by the owners monthly for a pre-agreed period. If there are metering devices, the water standard without a meter is not taken into account at all - flow meter readings are transferred to the EIRC after the fact;
- Based on the volume received, the total cost of services was calculated;
- to this was added the cost of the substance for general household needs - until standards for water consumption per person without a meter were introduced, they amounted to 5% of the cost of consumed cubic meters of substance at home;
- the resulting figure was divided among the residents of the apartment building who did not want to install or had not yet installed water meters. But even the introduced standard for cold water consumption per person per month without a meter did not ease the financial burden of utility payers.
Muscovites living in a multi-storey building, the engineering systems of which are in good condition, had to pay less than those who lived in a building with rusty and defective pipes. Before the standard for water consumption without a meter was introduced, the last person to receive a water bill was 3-5 times more. In 2016, apartments without metering devices pay no more than 2 norms. The water standards introduced by the Moscow government per person without a meter protect citizens from overpayments, and also force utility workers to monitor the condition of entrusted property, scammers. But even the legally established standard for paying for water without a meter does not ease the burden of Muscovites, since the volume of the substance consumed by one person may actually be less. Only an installed and registered water meter for cold and hot water in the apartment will allow you to pay after the fact.
Correct calculation of payment for water without meters in 2016
The introduced rate of cold water consumption per month per person (including hot water) guarantees that apartment owners without measuring equipment will not pay for additional common cubic meters. Let's take an example to see how water is calculated without a meter if 3 people live in 1 apartment. The procedure will be as follows:
- with a standard of 6.935 m3 (cold water) per person, the total apartment volume will be 6.935 m3 × 3 people = 20.805 m3;
- the second standard for water consumption without a meter is 4.745 m3 (hot substance), which means that the total apartment volume will be 4.745 m3 × 3 people = 14.235 m3;
- To find out how much to pay for water without a meter, you need to inquire about the tariff. They will be as follows (data valid until July 2016) 30.87 rubles per cubic meter of cold water. and 21.90 rubles city. In this case, charges for water without a meter and in the presence of measuring equipment will be carried out in the same way, including. Therefore, the calculation will be as follows: 20.805 m3 × 30.87 rubles = 642.2 rubles and 14.235 m3 × 21.90 rubles = 311.7 rubles. Consequently, the water bill without a meter will be 642.2 rubles + 311.7 rubles = 953.9 rubles per apartment. Here it is worth adding 5% for general house needs.
The bill for water supply services from apartments where the meter is installed will be lower by 35-55%. The amount depends on the actual water consumption of all people living in the living space. That is, charges for water without a meter are charged for each person plus general household consumption (cost x 2), and if there are metering devices, the total volume consumed.
From June 2016, tariffs will change. To find out what water standard per person per month without a meter will be in effect from the specified period, and what the cost of a cubic meter of water will be introduced by the government, visit the website http://informatio.ru/. Once you know the necessary information, you can easily calculate how much water costs without a meter and with a meter (if you have one installed).
Where can water meters be installed in Moscow?
Our company carries out installation, maintenance, and all types of measuring instruments that calculate the volume of water consumed. According to our rough estimates, even a fixed rate for charging water, if meters are not installed, does not save you from overpayments. We calculated that in fact, 1 person spends no more than 2.7-4.5 m3 of water per month in total. Considering the cost of cold water without a meter per person, the savings will be significant.
We are a certified company that has the legal right to install and register metering devices. To order, call our company or leave a request on the website. Since the rate of water consumption in Moscow per person without a meter is higher, the installation and purchase of equipment will pay for itself within ½ year.
Consumption of water resources is one of the most expensive items of utility expenditure for city residents. Consumption values can easily depend on the region in which the service is provided, since tariffs are different and other nuances occur. Standards and regulations are not set by utilities or management companies. Each locality has its own standards, divided into hot and cold water consumption rates.
Calculations are carried out using the relevant standards, which are approved by the committees and commissions in the sphere of housing and communal services of each constituent entity of the Russian Federation. This suggests that there are no uniform indicators in Russia when calculating water resource consumption.
The amounts of water consumption are also variable. They change depending on the seasons, seasonal needs, the individual needs of each person and other characteristics. That is why unevenness coefficients are used in calculations. Here, the number of registered residents and SNiP standards (sanitary norms and rules) are taken into account.

Approved consumption indicators
The list of generally accepted standards identifies the main indicators that are used in most settlements:
This list does not take into account household expenses, which are not available in all families. For example, there are no standards for washing a vehicle, changing water in an aquarium, swimming pool, or watering a house area. For such purposes, hourly irregularity coefficients are used, taking into account the presence of a sewer system. The water used for heating the living space is also taken into account.
Applicable coefficients
If there is an internal water supply and sewerage system, hot water supply, the coefficients range from 1.25 to 1.15 k/hour. Under the same conditions, in the presence of a bathtub and a gas water heater, the coefficient values are from 1.2 to 1.15 k/hour. The situation is somewhat different with the presence of a bathroom and wood-burning heaters - from 1.4 to 1.2 k/hour. With the presence of internal water supply, but without a bathroom, indicators from 1.6 to 1.4 k/hour are used.
Water consumption standards necessarily include cost items for fire extinguishing. However, since such needs are classified as periodic, the principles of calculation are based on the localization of the fire point and the supply of resources to influence it. Here the specifics of the premises must be taken into account.
Another indicator of standard water volume consumption is the location of a shower or bathtub in the room. Residential houses, which have a built-in water supply and sewerage system, but are not equipped with a bathroom, are designed to consume from ninety-five to one hundred and twenty liters of water per day. This is an indicator of water use per person. If a similar house has a bathroom, as well as devices for heating the water resource, the norms increase to one hundred and eighty liters per day.
Nuances with water heating and savings
If the room is equipped with a gas water heater, then in similar situations the standards for hot water consumption range from one hundred and ninety to two hundred and twenty-five liters per day per resident. When the heating of the water resource is carried out due to structures operating on solid fuel, the consumable items are smaller and range from one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty liters per day. Installing a shower in a residential area, on the contrary, increases consumption from two hundred thirty to two hundred seventy liters. Similar indicators are taken into account in the presence of an additional washbasin.
Most of the living citizens who have installed resource consumption metering devices in their living space have the opportunity to thus save on paying for the utility services provided to them. However, residents are required to install such devices at their own expense, including the purchase of equipment. The cost of installation will depend on how many meters a person installs. In general, if only one riser passes through the living space, two metering devices are enough - for hot and cold water.
Actual consumption
It should not be assumed that the installation of meters necessarily entails the need to reduce the usual water consumption. In fact, people are required to control their own consumption of the resource and not pour water in vain. In any case, this is not a typical situation - to spend a resource beyond the norm, even if a person does laundry, wet cleaning and bathing every day. In practice, after installing hot and cold water meters, payments are reduced by two or even three times. Of course, if you do not take into account those cases when one person is registered in a living space, but in fact four live. In such cases, without meters, payments will be less than with them.
Another advantage of meters is that a person pays only for what he actually consumed. If he went on vacation or a long business trip and no one used the water in his house during this period, he will not pay for it. If there are no meters, whether someone was at home or absent for three months, you will have to pay according to tariffs.
By comparing water consumption rates per person per month with actual consumption, monthly expenses for all expense items are calculated.
Taking this data into account, the following monthly averages apply throughout the country:
- Visiting the toilet – 118 times (in dormitories 123 times);
- Washing in the bathroom – 4 times;
- Taking a shower – 25 times (in dormitories 17 times);
- Use of the sink – 107 times;
- Use of the kitchen sink – 95 times.
Additional consumption indicators
Based on the above, we can also mention that, according to statistics, water is used thirty-one times per month for cleaning homes and the same amount for washing clothes. Certain regions of the Russian Federation have more specific data regarding the consumption of cold and hot water.
Consumer water consumption standards for sanitary needs according to some utility services:
- Taking a shower - up to one hundred liters;
- Bathing in the bathroom - about two hundred to three hundred liters;
- One-time visit to the toilet - up to six liters.
It is also necessary to take into account that even when the bathroom is used frequently, with its capacity of two hundred and fifty liters and everyday washing, there are water consumption rates that are inflated - increasing coefficients. Of course, no government agencies can control the amount of resource used in each individual apartment, therefore, in order to avoid unwanted overpayments, the most correct solution is to install meters.
In addition, if we consider the capital regions, then per person per month there is 3.81 cubic meters. hot in water and 5.48 cu. cold water. If there are no meters, the owners are obliged to pay the tariffs established in the region, regardless of how much they actually consumed.
How to calculate the consumed resource
Since every individual apartment, private house and other residential construction sites where it is impossible to do without the consumption of cold water is equipped with sanitary equipment, it is impossible to control the actual amount of resources consumed without meters. Therefore, average standards are applied, taking into account the total amount of water used in the locality with the assumption that half of the residential properties have meters.
The information obtained in this way is summarized, after which the share that falls on the living space with metering devices is determined. By subtracting this share, we get the volume of resource that is consumed by all residents who do not have installed meters. The result is divided by the total number of unequipped apartments. According to statistics, the share of users without meters automatically accounts for two-thirds of the total consumption in the locality. Thus, standard standards for hot and cold water consumption per person are approved.
Established standards facilitate the transition to new forms of accounting for water resource consumption and increase the efficiency of its use. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that for users who have not yet installed hot and cold water meters, prices for the introduced consumption standards will increase over time.
