Russians received tips on how to reduce water usage and save on utility bills.

Specialist Bashmakov: Night Tariffs Will Help Save on Utility Payments
Россиянам предложили рекомендации по снижению расхода воды и экономии на коммунальных платежах.

The installation of single-lever ball valves can help reduce water consumption at home and save on housing and utility services (HUS). This was stated by Igor Bashmakov, the General Director of the Energy Efficiency Center "21st Century," reports Pravda.Ru.

In addition, the expert recommends using water more efficiently, for instance, by remembering to turn off the tap while brushing your teeth. Savings can also be achieved by installing meters with night tariffs. In this case, you can run the washing machine at night when rates are lower. Another way to save is by obtaining benefits and subsidies, Bashmakov added.

“Low-income citizens can receive subsidies if their housing and utility expenses exceed a set threshold (13% in Moscow or 22% in some regions). Veterans and participants in events have social benefits,” the message stated.

Housing and utility expert Dmitry Bondar previously mentioned that Russians could save on housing and utility bills by carefully reviewing their receipts, using resources correctly, and knowing their rights. According to him, there may be errors in the receipts, so it is important to check them.

Earlier, an economist assessed the debts of Russians for utilities.
