& shy; “because I had been abroad for one year, the water company removed my water meter. Now after paying the water fee, I have to compensate for the cost of the water meter to give me water supply. I think it is not reasonable.” Yesterday, Mr. Chen, a citizen, called the party newspaper hotline 83751111 to reflect this matter. & shy; Mr. Chen lives in Sunrise impression community, Jin’an district. In 2015, Mr. Chen went abroad for one year, and was unable to pay the water bill in time, resulting in arrears of 140 yuan. From last July, the water company suspended the tap water supply of Mr. Chen’s house, and soon removed the water meter. On the 1st, Mr. Chen returned to China and paid the arrears immediately after knowing the situation, but was told to compensate for the cost of the water meter before the water supply could be restored. & shy; In this regard, Mr. Chen was very confused. He said, “I didn’t dismantle the water meter myself. Why should I compensate? The staff didn’t tell me where to go for business. It is really inconvenient to have no water at home now. When I went abroad, the electricity bill was also overdue, but I sent the electricity immediately after I paid the overdue bill. Why only the water company had such a regulation?” & shy; Later, the reporter contacted Fuzhou Water Supply Company. The staff told the reporter that Mr. Chen’s water meter was withdrawn because of the overdue payment. According to the company’s regulations, he needed to pay the reloading fee of the water meter in the marketing branch before the water supply could be restored. This fee belongs to the installation fee rather than compensation. Mr. Chen can go to Jinyuan Garden, Jin’an District marketing branch of Fuzhou Water Supply Company, which is located near No. 340, Liuyi North Road to handle related business. After paying the reloading fee, the company will arrange workers to install it on site and then use water normally. & shy; The staff of the water supply company hope to remind the general public through this newspaper that if a similar situation occurs, users can apply to the water supply company for a water meter to stop in advance. Even if there is overdue payment within one year after the stop, the water meter will not be withdrawn. But if the time is more than one year, you need to apply for the installation of a new water meter at the water company. (Reporter Wang Yuanyuan)
