When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Pentru ca nu am avut bani sa montam apometre, am fost contorizati in regim pausal si din aceasta cauza suportam lunar in contul nostru un consum de 60 m cubi apa rece (8 metri cubi/ persoana)."

Sau "on a flat-rate basis", ca alternativă. Am găsit o explicaţie destul de detaliată aici:
"Calculating water charges
There are several different methods of calculating charges for water. A water company may use one or more of these.
The charging methods are:-
an unmeasured charge based on the rateable value of the property. The water supply charge is calculated as an amount in pence per pound of the rateable value. This amount varies between companies; or
an unmeasured charge based on a *flat rate charge*. Some water companies charge a flat rate to all people without a water meter, irrespective of the amount of water used or the type of property they live in..."

Mulţumesc - şi sunt de acord şi cu comentariul tău de mai sus, fiindcă mă întrebam de ce fraza nu se referă la tarif, ci volumul folosit (but I wasn't going to say anything!! :P)

Ah yes! I thought it sounded rather "un-Romanian", but I never thought about German!

Da, într-adevăr... dar nici asta nu m-a ajutat să ghicesc originea cuvântului!
