Development and Reform Commission: Squeezing Water Supply Enterprises "Moisture" Water price adjustment costs will be made public

The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission confirmed when answering a reporter's question on the open trial of water price adjustments, the committee is studying the public pilot work on the adjustment of water price, and at the same time transparently the cost of water supply companies in order to gain public understanding and support in the future water price reform. .

Recently, media reported that at the special meeting convened by the National Development and Reform Commission, the local pricing authority expressed opposition to the cost of disclosure. The responsible person stated that the report was not true.

He explained that it is the trend of the times to aggressively push forward the reform of water prices and promote the piloting of the cost of water prices. It is also an inevitable result of the reform of water prices. The NDRC has never found that local price authorities do not agree with the phenomenon that the cost of water is open to the public.

It is reported that all parties have reached a consensus that the cost of water prices is openly regarded as an important part and component of deepening the reform of water prices. It is a breakthrough in further advancing the reform of water prices and is also of great significance to the price reform of the entire resource products.

Some accounting indexes that affect the cost of water supply, such as reasonable advance construction rates, production and sales rates, etc., should not be uniformly stipulated by the State, so they are still needed. All localities have made specific provisions in light of local conditions.

First, the water supply company must disclose to the public relevant business conditions and cost data before making a price adjustment proposal; second, the government's price administration department may Inviting representatives from relevant parties to participate in the supervision; third, the cost monitoring report of the government's price authority should be disclosed to the public.

The relevant person of the Ministry of Commerce, Housing, and Development of the National Development and Reform Commission disclosed that the government has revised the "Measures for Pricing and Auditing of the Price of the Government," and focused on the principle of project composition, principle of supervision and review, and criteria for the approval of key indicators for the pricing of urban water supply pricing, pending further demonstration. After the improvement, it will be introduced as soon as possible.
