The key to adjusting the price of urban water supply is to solve the problem of low sewage treatment fee the national development and Reform Commission said that adjusting the price of urban water supply is the key to solve the problem of low sewage treatment fee. At present, many areas of sewage treatment fee is not enough to cover the cost of governance. In accordance with the treatment of most of our sewage treatment Plant Standard 1 B calculation, sewage treatment of the uniform cost of about 1.1 yuan/ton (excluding pipe network construction and sludge disposal costs), and up to the end of 2008, the country's 36 large and medium-sized cities to the residents of the sewage treatment fee evenly only 0.7 yuan Did not meet the State Council 2007 provisions of the "sewage treatment fee ton of water in principle not less than 0.8 yuan" requirements.　　At the same time, with the progress of emission standards and the increase of sludge disposal, the cost of sewage treatment is still likely to rise, the current sewage treatment fee standard is still low, which is the main reason for the recent adjustment of water price in some cities. In addition, in recent years, China's water resources fee collection standards have improved, the scarcity of water resources are reflected, but also an important factor in water price adjustment.　　　　The NDRC said that individual cities do because the price of water supply is low for a long time, the enterprise loss is larger, can also be adjusted appropriately, but should as far as possible through strengthening governance, reduce paomaodilou, progress efficiency solution. The rate of sewage treatment in China is obviously improved 1/4 cities without sewage treatment plant to improve water environment, solve water pollution problems, in recent years, China's large-scale construction of sewage treatment facilities, sewage treatment rate significantly improved. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Housing construction, as at the end of September this year, the National city, counties and some key towns to build 1792 sewage treatment plant, the daily processing capacity of about 99.04 million cubic meters, respectively, compared to the "XV" period of 46% and 51.8% increase. Sewage treatment rate from 2005At the end of the 52% increase to the end of 2008 about 66%, is expected to complete the "Eleven-Five" identified 70% of the target. However, at present, China still has about 1/4 of the city and 71% of the county has not built a sewage treatment plant, a considerable part of the sewage treatment plant has been built under the load rate of less than 30%, of which 70% is due to the lack of funds, sewage collection pipe network does not support the cause.
