This year, Jiangsu will study and issue guiding opinions on sewage treatment fees and improve the sewage treatment fee policy system. This means that the sewage treatment fees that Jiangsu formulated in 2008 will be adjusted this year.
Today, the sewage treatment fee standard in Jiangsu was formulated after the Taihu Lake water pollution incident occurred in 2008. It is implemented in the range of 1.3 yuan-1.6 yuan per ton in southern Jiangsu, and between 1 yuan and 1.2 yuan in northern Jiangsu and Nanjing. It is 1.42 yuan, which has remained unchanged for 7 years. This year, Jiangsu will issue new guidelines for sewage treatment fees, which will be divided into three regions: Southern Jiangsu, Central Jiangsu, and Northern Jiangsu, and appropriately raise the sewage treatment fee standard.
At present, the prices of the three steps of water for residents in Nanjing are 3.1 yuan, 3.81 yuan and 4.52 yuan per ton respectively. For example, in the first water price of 3.1 yuan, in addition to the basic water price (water supply price) of 1.42 yuan, there are three surcharges, namely, urban public utility surcharge 6 cents, sewage treatment fee 1.42 yuan, and water resource fee 0.2 yuan ( Including the South-to-North Water Transfer Fund 0.07 yuan). After the new guidelines on sewage treatment fees are issued, all localities will also implement adjustments to sewage treatment fees in the future.
Previously, according to the requirements of the National Development and Reform Commission, before the end of this year, all cities were required to fully implement tiered water prices for residents. Although Nanjing and other places have implemented tiered water prices, the three-tier tiered water price has not yet reached the national requirement of 1:1.5:3. At present, there are only two cities in Jiangsu, Wuxi and Suqian, which have established compliance with the requirements for civilian use. The tiered water price system means that a large number of other cities in the province need to hold hearings in the second half of the year.
A few days ago, Xuzhou also announced the hearing plan for the water price. The price of the first step in the city has not changed and remains at 2.97 yuan per ton, but the amount of the first step has been greatly reduced, and the monthly basic water consumption has been reduced from 18 tons to 15 tons. .
At present, the water volume of the first step in Nanjing covers about 95% of households. According to the country’s new requirements, the first tier covers 80% of households, while the second tier is set for 95% of households. This also means that Nanjing’s water consumption for the first and second tiers may change. less.
