Measures of Hunan Province for the Administration of Urban Water Supply Price
 
chapter one  general rules
the first In order to give full play to the positive role of price lever in water resources allocation, water demand regulation and water pollution prevention and control, promote safe water supply and water conservation, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of both water supply and water users, and promote the sustainable development of urban water supply, these measures are formulated in accordance with the provisions of the Price Law, the Regulations on Urban Water Supply and relevant state documents, combined with the actual situation in our province.
the second These Measures shall apply to the price behavior of urban water supply in our province, including public water supply enterprises and non-public water supply enterprises for social water supply.
Article Urban water supply price refers to the price of commercial water supplied to users by urban water supply enterprises (including non-public water supply enterprises that supply water to the society, the same below) through certain engineering facilities to purify and disinfect surface water and groundwater to make the water quality meet the standards prescribed by the state.
Article 4 The price department of the people’s government at or above the county level is the competent department of urban water supply price; Urban water supply departments at or above the county level shall, in accordance with the division of responsibilities, assist the price departments at the same level to do a good job in urban water supply price management.
Article 5 The price of urban water supply is an important public utility price. According to the principle of unified leadership and graded examination and approval, government pricing management is implemented. The provincial price department is responsible for formulating the measures for the management of urban water supply prices in the whole province and approving the water supply prices in the cities under the jurisdiction of the province; The competent price department of the city under the jurisdiction of the province is responsible for the audit of the water supply price of the city where it is located and the daily supervision of the area under its jurisdiction; County (city, district) price departments responsible for the area of urban water supply price approval and daily supervision. If a water supply enterprise implements cross-administrative water supply, its price shall be examined and approved by the common price department at the next higher level. According to the National Law on Regional National Autonomy, the administrative authority of urban water supply price in Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture is determined by the competent price department of the state people’s government and reported to the state people’s government.
chapter two  Classification and composition of water price
Article 6 Urban water supply adopts classified water price. According to the nature of use, it is divided into three categories: residential water, non-residential water and special water. The price comparison between all kinds of water prices is unified in the whole province as follows1：1．5：4。
(1) The domestic water for residents refers to the domestic water for residents’ families and troops, as well as the water for school teaching and students’ life that conforms to the national policies.
(2) Non-resident domestic water refers to the water used by industries, business services and institutions.
(3) Special water refers to water used for bathing and car washing.
The specific scope of urban classified water price shall be determined and published by the competent price department of the city where it is located in conjunction with the competent water supply department of the city.
Article 7 The price of urban water supply consists of water supply cost, expenses, taxes and profits.
(a) the accounting of water supply costs and expenses should follow the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Supervision and Examination of Price Costs Formulated by the Government, the General Principles of Enterprise Finance and the Accounting Standards for Enterprises.
(II) The determination of the pricing cost and expenses of urban water supply shall be verified in accordance with the Measures for the Supervision and Examination of Government-formulated Price Costs and the Measures for the Supervision and Examination of Urban Water Supply Pricing Costs (Trial) of the National Development and Reform Commission.
(three) the tax included in the price of urban water supply shall be audited according to the provisions of the national tax law.
(four) the profit in the price of urban water supply shall be determined according to the profit rate of net assets.
Article 8 The reasonable profit level of urban water supply enterprises is determined according to different sources of funds.
(a) mainly invested by the government, the enterprise’s net assets profit rate is not higher than.6％；
(two) mainly invested by enterprises, including the use of loans, the introduction of foreign capital, the issuance of bonds or stocks and other ways to raise funds to build water supply facilities, the profit rate of net assets during the repayment period is not higher than.12%, after the repayment period, the profit rate of the enterprise’s net assets is not higher than 10%.
Article 9 Price and water supply departments at all levels should urge urban water supply enterprises to strengthen the assessment of water intake, water supply, water sales and various water use ratios, and strictly control the water loss in all aspects of water production, transmission and distribution and water sales within a reasonable range.
(a) the reasonable loss of the water-making process, that is, the difference between the water intake and the water supply (the water used by the water plant), is determined according to the water quality and the water-making process, but the maximum shall not be exceeded.10%。
(2) The reasonable loss of water transmission, distribution and sale is the difference between water supply and water sale (the difference between production and sales), which is determined by combining the scale of urban water supply, the old and new degree of pipe network and the rate of meter reading to households. The ratio of urban water supply enterprises directly reading meters to household users is in20% and below, the production and marketing slip shall not exceed 18%, and the ratio of urban water supply enterprises directly reading meters to household users (including residential users covered by wholesale prices) is above 20%. For every 10 percentage points increase, the production and marketing slip shall increase by 1 percentage point, but the maximum shall not exceed 26%.
Article 10 Advocate the use of reclaimed water in municipal public facilities such as urban fire protection, sanitation and greening. If reclaimed water cannot be used for the time being and urban water supply is needed, meter charging shall be implemented. If meter charging conditions are not available for the time being, water supply enterprises shall apply for the annual water supply of the city.3-5% of the water is purchased by the city government at the first step price of residents’ domestic water.
Urban water supply enterprises shall provide free water for urban low-income families and poor families, and water supply enterprises shall apply to the city government for corresponding water fee subsidies.
chapter three  Establishment of water price
Article 11 The pricing of urban water supply should follow the principles of cost compensation, reasonable income, water conservation and fair burden.
Article 12 In addition to the classified price of urban water supply, conditional cities should implement it."two-part system" and "three-step" water price system.
"Two-part system" refers to the water price system that combines capacity water price and metering water price. Capacity water price is used to compensate the fixed cost of water supply; Metered water price is used to compensate the operating cost of water supply.
Article 13 When the domestic water price of urban non-residents is two-part, it should be connected with the relevant provisions issued by the state on the progressive price increase of fixed water and over-fixed water.
Article 14 The calculation formula of two-part water price is as follows:
1. Two-part water price = capacity water price+metering water price
2. Capacity water price = capacity base price × capacity base of each household;
3. Base price of capacity = (annual depreciation of fixed assets+annual investment interest in fixed assets)/annual water production capacity.
4, residents’ domestic water capacity water price base = average population per household × planned average consumption per person per month;
5. The water price base of non-resident domestic water capacity is: the average water consumption in the previous year or three years, and the new water users are calculated according to the approved water consumption;
6. Metered water price = base metering price × actual water consumption;
7. Base price of measurement = [cost+expense+tax+profit-(annual depreciation of fixed assets+annual investment interest in fixed assets)]/annual actual water sales.
Article 15 A progressive price increase system for non-resident domestic water and special water is implemented. On the basis of the implementation of water quota management by the competent water supply department, the water price of the household terminal shall be implemented within the quota (planned) water consumption, and the water price shall exceed the plan and quota.The price of water within 20% will be increased by 50%, the price of water exceeding 20% and less than 40% will be increased by 100%, and the price of water exceeding 40% will be increased by 150%.
Article 16 Urban residents’ domestic water consumption can be based on the realization degree of direct meter reading and charging by urban water supply enterprises, and the step-by-step metering of water price can be implemented, reflecting the principle of using more water and paying more.
The stepped metering water price is divided into three levels, and the grade difference is1：1.5：2。
The calculation formula of stepped metering water price is as follows:
1. Step-by-step metering water price = first-level water price × first-level water base+second-level water price × second-level water base+third-level water price × third-level water base;
2, residents’ domestic water metering water price level 1 water base = average population per household × planned average consumption per person per month;
The average number of people per household is determined according to the number announced by the local government statistics department.
Article 17 The first-level water base of stepped water price for residents’ domestic water shall be formulated in accordance with the principle of ensuring residents’ basic domestic water; The secondary water base is determined according to the principle of improving and improving the quality of life of residents; The third-level water base shall be formulated according to the principle of satisfying enjoyment and special needs.
Article 18 Where the city implements the stepped water price for residents’ domestic water, the first level of water in the province is uniformly determined as per household month.15 cubic meters, the family resident population of more than 4, according to the actual number of nuclear increase of 4 cubic meters per person per month. Two or three water base by the city, county (city, district) price, urban water supply departments according to the national and provincial water quota and promote the improvement of people’s quality of life principle reported to the local people’s government to determine.
All localities shall set up special funds for the water fee income of residents’ domestic water stepped price and non-residents’ domestic water and special water exceeding the quota (plan), and the progressive price increase shall exceed the basic water price.The principle of "take it from water and use it for water" is specially used for the construction of the second water source in the city, the laying of new pipe networks on new roads in the city and the technological transformation of water supply quality. Regularly accept the supervision and inspection of price, urban water supply departments and audit departments.
Article 19 The calculation method for the classified price of urban water supply is:
1. Basic water price (average water price) = (water supply cost+expenses+taxes+profits)/water sold.
profit= enterprise net assets × net assets profit rate
The tax is the total tax in the same period.
The amount of water sold is the same period.
2. Calculation of various water prices:
Domestic water price for residents= (water supply cost+expenses+taxes+profits)/(domestic water consumption of residents +1.5 domestic water consumption of non-residents +4 special water consumption)
Non-resident domestic water price=1.5× price of domestic water for residents.
Special water price=4× price of domestic water for residents
The classified water sales volume is the same period.
Article 20 Cities that are dominated by tourism or have obvious seasonal consumption characteristics can implement seasonal water price floating, but the maximum floating rate should not exceed the basic water price.20％。
Article 21 Water supply enterprises should implement wholesale water supply prices for water supply units or property management communities that have not yet achieved direct meter reading to household users. Wholesale price is based on the amount of water sold and the price of domestic water for residents.6-8% discount.
Article 22 Encourage urban water supply enterprises to gradually implement unified secondary water supply management. If the secondary water supply facilities are built or transformed and handed over to water supply enterprises for management, the operation and maintenance costs will be included in the cost of water supply enterprises. For residential buildings and other high-rise buildings that have not yet unified the secondary water supply, the price increase standard can be calculated according to the actual pressurized electricity fee and reported to the local price department for the record before implementation.
The calculation method of pressurized electricity charge for secondary water supply is as follows:
Unit pressurized electricity fee= (power of pressurizing facilities× operation time of pressurizing facilities )× electricity consumption unit price/pressurized water volume, or (unit pressurized electricity fee = monthly average pressurized electricity fee/monthly average pressurized water volume)
Article 23 Urban water supply enterprises not only meet the public water supply, but also meet the special needs of direct drinking water and unit production and scientific research voluntarily applied by residential quarters, and their prices are determined through consultation between the supply and demand sides and reported to the local price authorities for the record.
chapter four  Water price declaration and approval
Article 24 A water supply enterprise that meets one of the following conditions may apply to the local price department for price adjustment:
(a) according to the laws and regulations of the state, the price is not enough to compensate for simple reproduction;
(two) the government subsidies still can not reach the prescribed rate of return on net assets;
(three) reasonable compensation to expand the investment in reproduction;
(four) water source construction and process and pipe network transformation to improve the quality of water supply.
Article 25  The application report for price adjustment put forward by the water supply enterprise should explain the basic situation of the enterprise, the production and operation situation in the past three years (including the changes in income, financial cost and its main components), the specific opinions and reasons for asking for price adjustment, and the impact on various downstream users.
Article 26 After accepting the application for adjusting the price of water supply, the competent price department shall solicit the opinions of the competent water supply department at the same level and supervise and examine the price and cost according to the regulations. County (city, district) price departments have not set up price cost supervision and examination institutions, and should entrust the cost supervision and examination institutions of the price departments at the next higher level to conduct price cost supervision and examination.
Article 27 The price adjustment of urban water supply is subject to the open system of price and cost.
(1) The cost of water supply enterprises is open.

The time for the cost disclosure of water supply enterprises is not less thanOne month, the deadline is the day when the water price adjustment hearing is held.
(2) The supervision and examination of pricing cost shall be made public. The competent pricing department of the government may invite relevant NPC deputies, CPPCC members, experts and scholars to participate in the cost supervision and examination, and publish the cost supervision and examination report through the local price government website, explaining the differences between the financial costs of enterprises and the government pricing costs and their causes. The time when the cost supervision and examination is made public is before the hearing of water price adjustment is held.On the 15th, the deadline is the day when the water price adjustment hearing is held.
Article 28 Price hearing should be held to adjust the price of urban water supply. The specific operation measures of the hearing shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the "Measures for Hearing Government Price Decisions".

It is advocated to establish a linkage mechanism between urban water supply price and the adjustment of water supply price and water resource fee of upstream water conservancy projects, and it is allowed to take a hearing and adjust the water price year by year.
Article 29 After the price hearing, the competent price department shall timely report the relevant information of the hearing and the minutes of the meeting to the local government for research opinions, which shall be implemented after the approval of the provincial competent price department, and implemented after the county (city, district) reports to the competent price department at the next higher level for the record.
Article 30 After the city water supply price adjustment plan is approved, it shall be announced to the public in a timely manner.

chapter five  Implementation and supervision of water price
Article 31 Urban water supply is transported by different water-making enterprises, and each water-making enterprise is allowed to determine the corresponding online settlement price through bidding (or approved by the city price department), but the same classified price must be implemented for water supply in the same city.
Article 32 Urban water supply enterprises should install meters to households, water supply enterprises directly read meters to households, and charge by metering. Cities that have not yet realized the installation of meters to households and direct meter reading to households should make plans to speed up.In the process of "one household, one meter" transformation, the related transformation costs can be included in the cost of water supply enterprises, or in a period of time, combined with the adjustment of water price, a special fund for household meter transformation of no more than one cubic meter of 0.2 yuan will be set up to enter the water price, and the "one household, one meter" transformation costs will no longer be charged to residents.
Article 33 Mixed water should be metered according to the water category. If the water consumption is not measured by the water consumption category, the water supply enterprise can verify the proportion of different types of water consumption with the user within the negotiation period to determine the settlement water price. If the water consumption is not measured by the water consumption category due to the user’s reasons, the settlement water price shall be higher.
Article 34 If an urban water supply enterprise installs water supply network facilities for new and old houses or building facilities without water supply network, it may charge installation and construction fees according to the charging standards approved by the competent price department of the city, county (city, district) where it is located.
