The water meter in the community is broken. Has the property changed or the owner changed?

1. If the damage is natural, that is to say, it is not caused by human factors, it depends on whether it is an internal water meter or an external water meter. If it is a public water meter, the maintenance cost should be borne by the property company, and the owner does not need to pay.

2. If the water meter at home is damaged by non-human factors, you can ask the water supply company to be responsible for maintenance or direct replacement. However, if the water meter is damaged by human factors, I should bear the responsibility in this case.

Is it reasonable for the owner to spend money to change the water meter himself?

It is unreasonable for the owner to spend money to change the water meter himself. In fact, not only water meters, electric meters and other public facilities are generally owned by the state. Just like the property right of our tap water meter must belong to the state, not to any of us, and not to the property.

You may not know that the installation of this tap water meter, including the purchase and later maintenance of the tap water meter, is carried out by the relevant departments of local tap water companies. We should all know that once there is a problem with the water meter at home, it means that we can call the after-sales phone of the tap water before installing the water meter, and they will usually come and handle it for us.

And the property is just a company that serves the owners. They took the owner's money and should serve the owner. Rather than charging in disguise, this must be clear. After we pay the property fee, we should ask what the scope of property services includes to avoid disputes in the future.

After the water meter has a problem, just like the water meter is broken, we can go to the property. The responsibility of the property is to help us contact the water company to replace our water meter. But if we want to entrust the property to handle this matter, if there is a corresponding fee, that is, the water company charges the water meter, then we need to be responsible. But if the water company changes it for free, then of course we don't need to pay.

In addition, we can also go directly to the water company without going through the property. We call the service number of the local water company, and they will come to our door soon. After finding out the problem, they will also make clear which items are charged and which are free. At this time, if the water meter charges, then you have to pay. If the water meter is free, we don't need to pay.

Therefore, when there is a problem with the water meter, electric meter or heat meter at home, if we have a property management company and we pay the property fee on time, we can ask the property management to handle these maintenance matters for us at this time. We are responsible for the related expenses. If there is no fee, the property should not charge us.

As far as I know, like these public facilities, the requirements of each region are different. In some areas, replacement is free, and in some areas, there is a charge for replacement. Therefore, we must consult some relevant local departments on this issue to avoid being fooled by them.
