Rules of hot water supply

I. General provisions

1. These rules govern the relations between local government bodies of settlements, city districts (further - local government bodies), the executive bodies of subjects of the Russian Federation, federal executive bodies, the organizations performing hot water supply, the organizations performing transportation of hot water, the applicants wishing to connect the objects to centralized system of hot water supply, subscribers, other legal owners of the objects entering centralized system of hot water supply for implementation of hot water supply, and also on the termination of the hot water supply performed with use of open systems of heat supply (hot water supply).

These rules do not extend:

on the relations in the sphere of the hot water supply performed with use of open systems of heat supply (hot water supply) which are regulated by the Rules of connection to systems of heat supply approved by the order of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 16, 2012 No. 307, and the Rules of the organization of heat supply in the Russian Federation approved by the order of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 8, 2012 No. 808;

on the relations between owners and users of rooms in apartment houses and contractors of utilities on hot water supply (condominiums, housing cooperatives, other specialized consumer cooperatives, management companies);

on the relations between the organization performing hot water supply and owners or users of rooms in the apartment house in which as method of management direct management is chosen or in which the method of management is not chosen;

on the relations between the organization performing hot water supply and owners or to users of apartment houses (households) connected in accordance with the established procedure to centralized system of hot water supply if the owner of the apartment house (household) in writing did not sign the agreement on provision of utilities.

2. The concepts used in these rules mean the following:

"subscriber" - the physical or legal entity who concluded or obliged to sign the agreement of hot water supply;

"accident" - the damage or destruction of objects of centralized system of hot water supply leading to restriction or the termination of hot water supply, creating threat of life and to human health or doing harm to the environment;

"unplanned repair" - the repair of centralized systems of hot water supply, separate objects of such systems, including water supply systems performed in case of incidents and accidents, and also in case of detection of the contingencies creating risk of emergence of incident or accident;

"water supply system" - complex of the engineering constructions which are technologically connected among themselves intended for transportation of hot water;

"water input" - the device located in connection point (technological accession) of object to centralized system of hot water supply (further - connection (accession) and providing the subscriber of hot water from such system;

"conclusion from operation" - final stop of work of objects of centralized systems of hot water supply, including water supply systems which is carried out for the purpose of their liquidation or preservation for the term of more than 1 year;

"border of balance sheet accessory" - the line of the Section of objects of centralized systems of hot water supply, including water supply systems, between owners, determined by sign of property or ownership on other basis provided by the Federal Laws;

"limit of operational responsibility" - the line of the Section of objects of centralized systems of hot water supply, including water supply systems established by the agreement of hot water supply, the agreement on transportation of hot water, determined by sign of responsibility for operation of these objects and the agreement of the parties, and in the absence of such agreement - on border of balance sheet accessory. In the presence of collective (all-house) metering devices of water and heat energy as a part of hot water limit of operational responsibility is the point of connection (accession);

"applicant" - person having intention to connect object to hot water supply and also the organization performing hot water supply or transportation of water (if connection requires creation and (or) upgrade (reconstruction) of technologically connected (adjacent) objects of centralized system of hot water supply, including water supply and thermal systems, for the purpose of change of their capacity for providing with the required applicant loading and quality of the pumped water);

"incident" - temporary loss by separate objects of centralized systems of hot water supply, including water supply systems, capabilities to function in the operation mode;

"contractor" - the organization owning on the property right or on other legal cause thermal and (or) water supply systems and (or) sources of heat energy, water supply sources to which it is direct or through thermal and water supply systems of other persons is performed connection;

"capacity of objects of centralized systems of hot water supply, including water supply systems" - amount of hot water which objects of centralized systems of hot water supply, including water supply systems can pass, in case of the set mode of giving (consumption) of hot water in a definite time;

"measuring instruments (metering devices)" - the technical means intended for measurements, having the obligatory metrological characteristics reproducing and (or) storing unit of physical quantity which size is accepted invariable (within the established error) during certain interval of time, and the waters used for the purposes of commercial accounting and heat energy as a part of hot water;

"point of connection (accession)" - the place of physical accession of the connected (attached) object to centralized system of hot water supply located on limit of operational responsibility of the subscriber and the organization performing hot water supply if other is not provided by the agreement of hot water supply. In the presence of collective (all-house) metering devices of water and heat energy as a part of hot water point of connection (accession) is the place of connection (accession) of collective (all-house) metering devices to the corresponding objects of centralized system of hot water supply, including to the water supply systems entering the apartment house;

"acceptance point" - the place of physical connection of objects of centralized system of hot water supply, including water supply systems, the organization performing hot water supply with water supply systems of the organization performing transportation of hot water.

Other concepts used in these rules correspond to the concepts provided by the Federal Law "About Water Supply and Water Disposal" (further - the Federal Law).
