Abstract

There are the results of some municipal services actual specific cost for residential apartment building. These services consist of cold water supply system; drainage and sewage systems; electricity; collection and disposal of municipal solid waste system. Authors did not indicate the specific operating cost for hot water supply and heating systems because their cost was constant. Research period: from 1st quarter of 2018 year to the 2nd quarter of 2022 year. This period was acute phase of Covid-19 pandemic period. Authors have written the dynamics changes in the cost of considered services. Researchers have presented additional factors which affect to the unit cost of municipal services in this paper. There is a brief overview of management companies types which could be in municipal service system. Also it has been considered their capabilities and limitations in creating tariffs process. Authors have identified different trends in the engineering service unit cost changing process. This article could be interested for management companies and tariffs planning departments of public municipal service system in different parts of Russian Federation.
