FAQ


 

 Question1:How is the volume of water consumed determined if the actual reading of the mechanical meter cannot be read?

Answer: If the consumer does not allow the representative of the WSSI to inspect the water meter, the volume of water consumed is calculated according to the average consumption rate used by the consumer within the previous 12 (twelve) months (if the consumption period is less than 12 (twelve) months, actual period is taken). Reports made on the basis of the average consumption norm used within the previous 12 (twelve) months are adjusted in accordance with the actual indicator of the water meter device determined later. The amount already paid by the consumer as a result of the adjustment is taken into account in subsequent reports. At the same time, you can visit www.e-su.az or www.azersu.az and get an electronic notification based on the actual reading of the mechanical meter using our e-service "Submission of meter readings by consumers and the formation of invoices".

Question 4: I made an online payment to my account. What should I do to transfer that amount to my smart card?

Answer: When the balance is paid online without inserting the smart card into the card reader, the amount is transferred to the subscriber's account, not to the card. In this case, you can transfer the amount from your account to the card at ASAN service, ASAN kommunal Centers or local Sukanal Offices with ID card, payment receipt and smart card.

Question 5: Despite the change in the number of my family members, the calculation is still the same. What do I need to do to make changes to the report?

Answer: In case of changes in the number of persons registered at the address, the consumer must submit a document confirming this fact to the Water Supply and Sewerage Institution (WSSI) within 7 (seven) working days at the latest. WSSI must make the calculation from the date of submission of the document. If the document on the number of registered persons is not submitted by the consumer, the report on water supply and wastewater is made in accordance with the established average statistical composition of the family in the country. To use the e-service to make changes in the family, you can use the "e-services" section of the website www.e-su.az, the "Electronic services" section of the website www.azersu.az or the portal "Azersu" from www.e-gov.az.

Question11: Do I have to pay for the meter installation?

Answer:  Supply of consumers with water meters, their installation and replacement is carried out at the expense of the Water Supply and Sewerage Institution (WSSI) in relation to consumers who are individuals (consumer group), and at the expense of the consumer who is a legal entity (non-population group). Subsequent use (lease) of the area (facility) where the water meter is installed is not a ground for the removal (replacement) of the water meter or for the WSSI to require that person to reimburse the cost of its installation.
