Recently, mr. Wang received a bill for the price of water
Usually his house spends about $40 a month on water
But last month it was 5094. 9 dollars
What the hell is going on
Is there a connection between leaking after changing the watch
Mr. Wang's house is located on the third floor of revival west road, 20th floor in the xuxi district, where he has lived for almost 70 years. On 12 march this year, the shanghai waterworks company replaced its water table for its district. On 18 april, he suddenly discovered that the water pressure in his home had become smaller. Following a check-up, the staff members came to the door and found that the problem was the leak caused by the fall of the pipeline at the surface exit, at a time when the entire water well was full of water. Mr. Wang reported the same day for maintenance of the property, and the water supply returned to normal after an hour and a half。
However, when the water bill was received on 25 april, mr. Wang was struck by the fact that the amount of water used per month amounted to 1,258 tons at a cost of $5094. 9. In other words, 30 days a month, approximately 42 tons of water per day and 1. 75 tons per hour
After the “five ones” leave, mr. Wang went to the water launch company for this purpose, and the staff members discovered that the leak had begun on 19 march, a week after the water table was replaced. In mr. Wang's view, the shock of changing the watch could result in the old pipeline being relaxed. However, the water authorities in the city stated that “there is no such problem and they do not bear the cost”。
Mr. Wang did not accept this, and he called the citizens ' hotline of 12345. The following day, staff members came to the scene to take photographs of the water table and took away an application submitted by mr. Wang for relief from the abnormal cost of water (with a property stamp), but the response was that the city was not responsible for the cost。

There's an alarm. Residents don't know
The whole thing is a matter of doubt. First of all, is it logical that 1258 tons of water are really small, even if there is a leak? In response, hongtao, deputy director of water supply in the southern district of the city, stated that measurement was not problematic. “it leaked all over the bend, and we counted it, about two tons in an hour.”
So when did the city water company find out about this leak? After more than a week of changing the water table, the leaks were reported on the backstage, on 27 march, on a call order, and on 29 march, when the reporter arrived at the scene, knocking on the door and no response, a note was posted on the iron door reminding users of possible leaks in the internal pipeline。
However, it was not until 18 april that mr. Wang discovered that the water pressure had become smaller, and no anomalies had been detected before, i. E. Why did he not see the note? The notice was posted on the back of the first floor, while mr. Wang's house was located on the third floor and was normally at the front door, so he had no idea of a note。
Hongtao also indicated that on 6 april the system sent a reminder message to mr. Wang's registered mobile phone number, although mr. Wang stated that it had not been received. On 23 april, staff members came to the scene again before the accounts were opened, and mr. Wang did not meet with them, again posting a reminder form on the iron door。
So who's going to pay for the water? Hong tao indicated that he would be further consulted。
In addition, journalists found a detail at the scene: the water table of users on the second floor was also leaking behind the table, and the water flow was constantly flowing from the pipeline interface and, if not processed in a timely manner, the next high-cost bill could appear. The flood surge indicated that repairs would be carried out immediately。
The real reason for the water leak and whether it is related to the change of tables is still open. The problem of reflecting on the water bill is even more noteworthy than that of 5,000. While intelligent water meters can detect anomalies in a timely manner, staff follow-up processes fail to close the loop: alerts are posted in inappropriate locations and text messages are not delivered, indicating gaps in service systems. New leaks discovered on the second floor have sounded alarms for the maintenance of the old house plumbing system, and the loss of more than 1,000 tons of water resources is equally painful。
This is also a reminder of the need for users to look for their own water, the need for enterprises to improve their early warning disposal processes and the need for the property industry to enhance the maintenance of old houses, which can only be combined to avoid the double loss of “chartered water” and water resources。
