Xinhuanet Beijing Xinhua August 4th National Development and Reform Commission, Energy Research Institute, former director Zhou Dadi, Tsinghua Water Policy Research Center, Fu Tao, director of China on the 4th visit, at the present time has been concerned about the topic of water, electric power price reform and the broad masses of netizens online exchange. When talking about why there will be a recent trend of price increases, Tao Fu said, the five reasons contributed to the recent sudden price: First, does the cost of increasing supply; Second, the original price did not consider water the cost of processing; Third, there is no water in the cost of sludge treatment; four of Chinas resource-based products to enhance the objective requirements of the price, because of water to this day has become a strategic resource; Fifth, the low efficiency of water supply industry .
[Moderator], you are specialized in water. In fact, water is in our everyday life than the more frequent use of electricity and gas of a thing, this resource-based products up the price of a people reflects the particularly high, especially in the last water price increase. First of all, people will ask why this water will be up then How on the original price of this inappropriate
[Tao Fu]also mentioned a moment ago, in fact, my first 30 years of the development of
jewelry set the cost of resources and the environment too, water and resources not only have a relationship, and the environment have , we check the water supply is a natural water environment. Water as an industrial raw materials and energy, as is the front-end production, but also a necessity of life, water is the source of life from the day people can not, therefore the people reflected in the price adjustment of water supply even more. From industry that will be directly transmitted to the goods, and water as a means of subsistence will also be a direct reflection of the people.
another factor is that since 1998 the consumption of underground water after we had delegated to local management practices, and unlike other products important in the central pricing. After the decentralization of local Peoples Government has the right to adjust prices in accordance with certain conditions. So will the media report more, because sometimes Development and Reform Commission issued a notice on the adjustment of other products, but the water, we are more than 600 cities in the main price, it seems appears to be up into one, but the actual also in the process of gradual adjustment.
but the fundamental nature of water and other energy products is unlikely in nature, we call the municipal public measures. In this characterization, the original is basically our services by local governments or state-owned companies and institutions to operate, we operate for several decades, China as a developing country, the protection of our water rates, sewage treatment to improve the speed in developing countries or the international recognition of the good. But it also showed the inside of our previous problems, such as low efficiency and so on. Over the last decade, however we do supply a number of adjustments, this decade and Statistics 36 cities rose an average of about 5%, sewage from an average annual rate of 15 percent a decade or so, the price has been going on, the more prominent recent One is madeinflationary pressures last year, many products that push the price adjustment after the Government and, in the beginning of this year seems to have suddenly broke out, in fact, each city is only one tune, and in fact the price adjustment process is within the normal range .
moderator also mentioned earlier the issue of international standards, the price of water in fact we are much cheaper than the international level, because water supply is entirely territorial in nature, is basically in accordance with Chinas prices, with the international In fact the developed countries is their 1 / 5 or so, of course, our per capita income lower than they are, which is basically the level of income.
price adjustment will be why the recent trend of it This is the situation we now have the relationship between changes, I have mentioned, there are five reasons contributed to the recent sudden price:
First, the cost of water supply is indeed on the rise. Water supply costs have gone up because there are environmental costs: the development of 30 years ago we did not pay adequate environmental costs, sedimentation of water down to the passing rate was lower than many major companies get a pass rate of the source water at a relatively low level , official data said that 70 percent level. In this context we have to meet the relatively high-quality water, because water is not just industrial raw materials, it is also related to peoples health, including the three to objects are in the water, many organic source of water pollution as a result of boiling can not eliminate. Boiling water to cover up the water quality problems, but as sources of water pollution, large quantities of dissolved organic matter into the water, boil the solution alone is very difficult to solve. States in 2007
Zuchtperlen issued a new national standard, the original water quality standards from 35 to 106, basic and international practice, should be enforced in 2012.
these problems alone built 20 years ago, the old facilities is very difficult to achieve in practice, if not to increase the cost of the health of the people means that it is very difficult to secure and even this threat has emerged in some places , including water pollution incidents Nanchangosaurus, in fact, tap water each year these events took place is very large, most of the local government to deal with, and did not let the people fully aware of.
there is a very important factor
pearl beads is that our sewage treatment such as ten years ago we know that 150 sewage treatment plants, it is now 1500, and then have to reach 2500 and so on, in accordance with the requirements of the country in 2010 to reach 70-80% of the sewage treatment rate of 36 core cities in order to achieve 100%
bridal pearl jewelry of the sewage treatment, in fact, the cost of sewage treatment and water supply for the international community is considerable that we have not considered the price of water in this, ten years ago there was no water inside the sewage treatment fee, so the last few years up very quickly, and we are still dealing with the requirements of 100% of the sewage has a long gap.
third factor is the sludge treatment, sewage treatment is not finished after the security, transferred to soil contaminants inside, even as Beijing, Shanghai, the
pearl bracelet heart of this city, 70-80% of our The mud has not been disposed of stabilization, most spelled out, will be stepping into the river as soon as it rains. The original price of water in our soil and there is no such costs, in accordance with internationally accepted methods, the cost of mud to the total 40% of sewage treatment. These are the original price of the vacancies we have, people should pay the price of water supply and sewage consisting of common.
fourth, in fact, Chinas resource-based to increase the price of water is one of the original inexhaustible water resources are inexhaustible, it is necessary to pay is a fraction the cost of money, but to this day the water has become a strategic resource, but increasing water charges to increase water supply and basic raw materials costs, the cost of this part of the state through taxes and charges in two forms, the current national approach is cost of the form, basically a collection of mainly local governments.
Of course, there are efficiency factors, the water supply industry is the latest reform of state-owned company, one of several factors, there was an effect known as the bottom of the pot effect, the Government has arrangements have no place to go to the Government can lead the industry, water supply is one of them, so a lot of water to take the behavior of non-enterprise, so the objective of creating a lower quality of water supply companies. This resulted in a number of factors over the past few years we have continued to grow in water and, of course, many other factors, but I mentioned these are the most important.
