Who should pay for water damage?

First of all, the property owner should check the cause of the loss. Furthermore, these losses are not the owner's responsibility and cannot be claimed against the owner.

Recently, reporters came to Luoyuan Community. Although the water and electricity are now normal, many residents are still worried that the water and electricity will stop soon. "We have paid our water and electricity bills on time every month. We cannot stop our water supply just because some people have not paid." An aunt in the community complained to the reporter.

It is understood that Luoyuan Community was built in the mid-1990s and has 247 households. It is an old community. Before, there was no formality for the water meter to go out of the house. Currently, the community implements a master meter. Each household's water needs to go through the master meter. The water fee is usually collected by the property owner, and the owner cannot pay it by himself.

Due to the aging pipelines and serious water leakage, there is a big difference between the main meter and the sub-meter of the community, resulting in excessive water loss and electric loss. The water loss of residents in the community is more than 100 yuan per month.

“It is a matter of course that I should be paid as much water as I use. It is unreasonable to ask me to pay for water that is not used by me.” Mr. Wang, a resident, felt that it was unfair.

A resident of the community told reporters that from December last year to March this year, the water bill was owed more than 30,000 yuan, and each resident was paid more than 100 yuan. Many residents rented houses and were still paying. Some houses are unoccupied and it is difficult to collect water bills.

Having water and electricity out of the home is the best option:

Due to the large loss of water and electricity, the previous property management company withdrew from the community years ago due to operational difficulties. The water bill was too owed, and in early April this year, the community's water supply was cut off.

In order to solve this problem, the Wangweishe Neighborhood Committee and the owners of the community prepared to establish an owners' committee, with the intention of managing the community through the owners' committee and recruiting new property owners.

“We have also released information about recruiting property developers, but so far no property company is willing to take over.” A staff member of the Wangweishe Neighborhood Committee told reporters.

Since then, the Social and Neighborhood Committee and the owners committee of the community have been working hard to install water and electricity meters outside the home, and also repaired some aging pipes, but the results are not satisfactory.

“Only 150 households have paid the meter transfer fee so far, and there are still many households that cannot be collected. If this continues, the cost of water damage will only increase.” A staff member of the Wangweishe Neighborhood Committee told helplessly reporter.

He said frankly, "The root problem lies in the loss of water and electricity. The Social and Neighborhood Committee is unable to solve this part of the cost of water and electricity loss. There is currently no better way to solve it. If there is no better way to solve it, just It can narrow the scope and provide water and electricity meters to residents who have paid water and electricity bills, and gradually solve residents' living problems. "

"Water meters are the best choice," a staff member of the water supply group told reporters. . She said that the water supply group has currently adopted corresponding plans to ensure that the community can carry out water meter renovation, but the premise is that the community must pay off the water bills owed before water reform can be carried out.

She also told reporters: "The procedures for removing the water meter from the home must also be led by the corresponding personnel, and the property owner or the owner committee can handle it uniformly."
