The pump station provides the transfer of drinking water from the storage tank to the distribution pipe. The system is equipped with a block of instrumentation and automation connected to meters and shutoff valves with electric drive to shut off the consumer. The disadvantage is the inability to determine the amount of drinking water consumed by a specific consumer, if the outlet taps are located outside the consumers' apartments, for example, on stairwells, the difficulty of controlling the payment of the consumed water.

As the closest analogue to the claimed technical solution, the system of automated supply of drinking water to individual users in residential buildings according to the RF patent for invention No. 2288999, EV 1/04, 2006 was selected. The system includes a storage-expendable tank, means for filling it with water, a piping system, a drain crane. In addition, the system contains a number of storage and consumable containers equal to the number of water users, a local water dispensing console, a means for collecting and processing information about the amount of water consumed by each user. Water is delivered in a mobile tank. The disadvantage is the complexity of the maintenance and installation of the system, associated with the need to install storage and expendable containers in each apartment, with cluttering the space of the apartments, as well as the difficulty of providing access to the apartments for staff. In addition, the complexity of servicing the system lies in the need to process information on the consumed water volume by each user for billing for payment of the consumed water and in the uneven flow of water by different users. With a different flow rate of water from storage tanks of users, they must be filled from a mobile tank at the same time. A disadvantage is also a change in the quality of drinking water as a result of finding it in a storage-expendable tank.

The technical task of the claimed utility model is to expand the functionality of the system, improving the quality of the supplied drinking water.

The technical result is to provide free access to drinking water dispensing devices to a wide range of users, to increase the usability of the metering system, control and payment of the consumed amount of water by each user, as well as to ensure high quality drinking water in the system.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that water dispensing devices are made in the form of terminals that can be installed not only in the apartments of users, but also in the entrances of residential buildings, in administrative buildings, in the buildings of educational and medical institutions. The presence in the terminal of an electromagnetic valve associated with the card reader, a control unit, an electric tap, a water flow meter, a power button and a control unit allows you to simplify the process of dispensing water to an individual user and allows you to instantly calculate the amount of water dispensed at one time, for example, using a plastic card with a built-in chip. The presence in the water supply system of a control unit containing an information unit and a billing device, which is connected to the remote control center by means of the receiving and transmitting devices, can significantly expand the functionality due to the automated control of the system from the remote control center. Connecting the building system to a remote control center allows you to remotely monitor the condition of the equipment, the level of filling of storage and expendable capacity, control the balance, profitability and turnover of chip cards, selectively block certain cards if necessary. The high quality of natural drinking water in the system is ensured by the fact that the storage and supply tank is equipped with a water inlet unit from the mobile tank and an air filter and is connected to a pump unit containing a pump and a reserve tank. The unit of water inlet from the mobile tank allows hermetically connecting the flexible pipe of the mobile tank and pumping drinking water extracted from a natural source into the storage-expendable tank, eliminating the ingress of impurities into the water. The unit of water inlet from the mobile tank also provides sealing of the storage-expendable tank during water storage. With the help of an air filter, purified air is supplied to the storage-supply tank, which is in contact with its surface, which drops as water is consumed. This eliminates the change in water quality during storage, reduces the risk of contaminants and microorganisms entering it causing undesirable biological processes. The supply of drinking water to the reserve tank before it is directly supplied to the water bottling units, a small volume of the reserve tank, timely replenishment of the reserve tank when the water surface is reduced to a certain level also eliminates the processes that cause damage to natural water, and a decrease in its quality.
