Does the property right of tap water meter belong to individuals or tap water companies?

The property right of the tap water master table belongs to the tap water company, and the sub-table property right from the tap water master table (the tap water company charges according to the tap water master table) belongs to the households.

According to the principle of "water meter goes out of the house, one meter for each household, meter reading for each household, and charging for each household", after the transformation of one meter for each household is completed, it is clear that the property right is bounded by the user's water meter.

All water supply facilities except the user's water meter (except the secondary water supply pressurizing equipment and fire hydrants) are owned by the water supply company, which maintains and manages them uniformly.

The property right of the water supply facilities in the user's water meter belongs to the user, and it can be maintained by itself or entrusted by the water company, but the entrusted matters are paid services.

Extended data

"One household and one meter" refers to the water supply contract signed by the user and the water supply enterprise, and is the direct trade settlement household of the water supply enterprise. Through the implementation of the renovation project of household meters, users can use as much water and pay as required, so as to clearly understand consumption.

At present, the water meters used by some community residents are internal measuring instruments installed by housing developers during the construction of houses. Not registered in the water supply enterprise, nor signed a water supply contract with the water supply enterprise, which does not belong to the form of trade settlement. According to national laws and regulations, measuring instruments must be approved by relevant departments for production, and products can only be sold and used after passing inspection.

In the process of use, it must be checked regularly to ensure accuracy. The compulsory verification period of residential water meters is generally not more than 6 years. At present, the quality and model of water meters used in residents' homes are uneven, and they are generally not checked after occupancy, which reduces the accuracy. Therefore, the implementation of the "one meter per household, metering out of the house" transformation project does not use the original water meter in the home of water users.
