On the causes of the problems occurring during the operation of water supply systems in apartment buildings

Summary

The paper considers the topical issues of estimating the compliance of the regulatory and technical framework that defines the basic requirements to water supply systems of apartment buildings with the technical regulations. The technical and legal factors effecting the occurrence of problems in the operation of water supply systems in apartment buildings are discussed; and an analysis of the causes of these problems is provided. The sufficiency of the existing methodological support for ensuring the safe operation of water supply systems in apartment buildings to be implemented at the system designing stage, is confirmed. Recommendations are provided to ensure legitimate design solutions considering the legislative vacuum in the regulatory and technical documents at the federal level. To eliminate the existing legislative vacuum in terms of determining the parameters of water supply systems for apartment buildings while designing, it is necessary to use not only the recommendations of regulatory and technical documents at the federal level, but also the company standards.
