The necessity of leaving the water meter at home.

Document No. 41 clearly stipulates: "When designing residential construction drawings, the design unit must design indoor household water meters in accordance with the requirements of 'copying to the household', so as to achieve 'one meter for each household' and 'water meter leaving the household'." (

1) The water meter can be installed outside the home to reduce disturbance to residents.

If the water meter is installed indoors, the water supply department must enter the room every time to read the meter, check for leaks, and perform maintenance, which will cause inconvenience to users and affect residents' rest and daily life.

If a water leak occurs and cannot be repaired in time, unnecessary losses will be caused to users and neighbors.

If the water meter is not read in time, it will affect the implementation of the tiered water prices and even cause misunderstandings or unnecessary disputes.

From the perspective of "convenience and benefiting the people without disturbing the people", the best choice is to install water meters outside the home.

(2) Leaving the water meter out of the house is helpful for reading the water meter.

The first step of meter reading in Wuhan City has been completed. Due to historical constraints, more than 77% of household meters in our city are installed indoors. In addition, residents’ awareness of public security and prevention has increased. Some of them have no one at home due to work or business trips.

It has become a very prominent problem that it affects the timely reading of water meters. It is difficult for water supply service personnel to enter, read and maintain water meters.

The best way to solve this problem is to send water meters out of the house, which is conducive to maintaining normal water supply order, and is conducive to building a harmonious society, a harmonious Wuhan, and a harmonious environment between people and water.

(3) The delivery of water meters to households is an inevitable requirement for social development.

Our country has entered the stage of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.

Among the ten standards for well-off housing announced by the Ministry of Construction, the sixth standard clearly states: "Concentrated pipelines, water, electricity, and gas are metered out of the home."

Judging from the practice of meter reading at households, the method of simply "changing meters on the spot" has hidden dangers in safe and high-quality water supply.

Among users who have completed meter reading in the first step, many water supply facilities such as risers and water tanks in the building are seriously rusted, aged and leaky, and are in urgent need of renovation.

While transforming water supply facilities, implementing household water meters (moving indoor water meters and risers to corridors) is an inevitable requirement for implementing three household meters and building a well-off society in an all-round way, which is conducive to the construction of a conservation-oriented society and a water-saving city.
