Ziru, a journalist for the news of the evening of may 23, zinan, was informed today by the authorities that the prices of the city's water supply are proposed to be adjusted upwards, but that, after a combination of factors, the total price of the city's water supply will not exceed $3. 4 per cubic metre and the cost of water for the population will not exceed $3. 0 per cubic metre. Starting tomorrow, the authorities will begin a public call for representatives for hearings on water price adjustment in mid-june。
It is described that currently, the city of jenan receives $0. 43/m3 for sewage treatment, $0. 35/m3 for surface water resources and $0. 8/m3 for groundwater water resources, which, together with the cost of basic water prices, city surcharges, is now $2. 8/m3 for combined water and $2. 6/m3 for household water, adjusted for 2003。
In order to save water, increase water conservation efforts with economic leverage and reduce municipal sewage emissions, encourage enterprises to treat sewage, and strongly promote the use of water in china. In accordance with the provincial government's requirements, the city's sewage treatment costs this year must be increased from 0. 43 to 0. 8 yuan/m3 and the cost of surface and groundwater water resources must be increased accordingly。
The increase in the cost of water supply is due to increased sewage treatment and water resources, and it is proposed that the city of jenan raise the price of water supply. However, due to the broad scope of this adjustment, no specific adjustment options have yet been identified. However, according to the responsible persons, the combined price of water adjusted in jenan city will not exceed 3. 4 yuan/m3 and the price of water used by the residents will not exceed 3. 0 yuan/m3。
As a result of this price adjustment, the city of jenan also proposes to eliminate the price preferences for heating and toilet water, while providing appropriate subsidies to low-income and needy households to ensure that this segment of the population is not discouraged from eating water。
According to the responsible officials, the city of jenan will hold a hearing in mid-june on the adjustment of the price of water to hear the views and suggestions of the public in a manner that is responsive and accountable to the public. It is planned that, starting tomorrow, the relevant departments will open a public call for hearing representatives and select a certain number of representatives from the public to participate in this water price adjustment hearing。
