Così sono tornato dal lavoro e ho visto questo all’ingresso del mio palazzo. All’inizio ho pensato che fosse rivolto a me e ho chiamato per fissare un appuntamento. Gli uomini sono venuti e li hanno mostrati al mio orologio ad acqua, hanno detto di no e hanno guardato in giro nel seminterrato. Hanno trovato un orologio ad acqua più grande (?) e hanno detto che devono tornare di nuovo (hanno parlato di essere più grande di quanto pensassero o qualcosa del genere). Ora, mi sbagliavo se dicevo che questo manifesto era rivolto a tutti i residenti del palazzo e piuttosto al PROPRIETARIO del palazzo?

  1. The local water/power company wants to switch the Wasserzähler (that needs to be done every few years as their calibration validity expires).

    If they want to replace the main water counter, yeah, then it is meant for the owner of the building (maybe send them a mail or call them so they know of it).

    If this was at the entrance door and not addressed to you personally, I assume they missed reading serveral water clocks or even all of them. It’s best to coordinate a date with the other tenants before making an appointment, so that either everyone is there or has a key of a neighbor who can’t be there if the clocks are in private spaces. If you all have the same landlord, it’s best to inform them and let them handle it.

    its about recalibrating your water clock. they dont know where your water clock is – it might be in your apartment. since they have to recalibrate every single clock in the house and dont know where to go and wether the landlord has (easy) access to every clock, they write at everyone. maybe there is just one “big” water clock for the whole house somewhere in the basement and you dont have access.

  4. Usually, tenement buildings and condos have one central water meter, used by the utility company for billing the building as a whole, and individual water meters for the units, used by property management for splitting the bill between units. This is unlike electricity, where there is usually no central meter, and each unit is billed directly by the utility company.

    Since the letter is “signed” by the municipality (“Gemeinde”), it is about the central, utility-level water meter.

    If you don’t have a water meter in your flat. It’s adressed at the owner.
    In any case, it would be best to contact them to confirm the best course of action.
    Our Hausverwaltung always put up a note at the front door informing us of things like this 1-2 weeks in advance.
