The article analyzes components that have an impact on electricity consumption in the general water supply and distribution system, in particular those that affect the power consumption of pumping stations of the water supply system.This type of pumping units will only increase, as they are the main component of housing and communal services, which reached us inherited. Currently in housing and communal services, the model of the USSR, pumping equipment is completely worn and requires a replacement. The use of outdated pumps, unsatisfactory state of the water supply network, uneconomically use of water by consumers - are considered as the main factors of electricity loss. The purpose of the article is to attract attention to the problem of excessive use of electricity in the general water supply and distribution system. Possible variations are considered to reduce costs and losses of electricity, namely: rational use of existing landing and networks, introduction of the latest technologies, etc.
