Yangcheng Evening News reporter Liang Yitao reported: how should the sewage treatment fee in Guangzhou be charged? Who needs to pay the sewage treatment fee? On December 14, the reporter learned from the Guangzhou Water Affairs Bureau that the bureau had solicited opinions on the implementation measures for the collection and management of sewage treatment fees in Guangzhou (Draft for public comments) (the draft for comments is completed below) on the official website of the Guangzhou Municipal People's government. According to the draft for comments, the sewage treatment fee in Guangzhou is intended to be specially used for the operation and maintenance of the sewage treatment system after collection.

According to the exposure draft, the first-class urban drainage authorities in Guangzhou are responsible for the collection of sewage treatment fees in the central urban area of Guangzhou, and the sewage treatment fees in other areas are collected by the regional drainage authorities. The price administrative department of Guangzhou is responsible for formulating and adjusting the charging standard of sewage treatment fee in the central urban area. The charging standards of sewage treatment fees in Panyu (except university town), Huadu, Nansha, Conghua and Zengcheng districts shall be approved by the regional price administrative departments. In case of adjustment of sewage treatment fee standard during implementation, the new standard shall prevail. The sewage treatment fee is included in the budget management of government funds and is specially used for the operation, maintenance, management and construction of urban sewage treatment system.

According to the draft for comments, sewage treatment fees shall be levied on the areas covered by the built sewage treatment plants in Guangzhou; If a sewage treatment plant is under construction or a feasibility study report or project proposal for the construction project of an approved sewage treatment plant, a sewage treatment fee may be levied, and the sewage treatment plant shall be completed and put into operation within three years of the levy. For the actual payers, the exposure draft indicates that units and individuals discharging sewage and wastewater to urban drainage and sewage treatment facilities should pay sewage treatment fees; If the public water supply facilities have realized "one meter for each household and meter reading to each household", the registered water meter shall be the payer. Users of secondary water supply facilities in commercial and residential communities, villages (homes), water transfer plants, etc. whose public water supply facilities do not achieve "one meter for one household and meter reading to each household" shall be the payer who is registered with the water meter registered in the public water supply enterprise. For units and individuals using self provided water sources, the owner of self provided water source facilities shall be the payer. The actual discharge unit or individual that discharges sewage and wastewater to urban drainage and sewage treatment facilities using temporary drainage of construction and drainage of foundation pit shall be the payer.

According to the exposure draft, the sewage treatment fee is calculated and levied monthly according to the water consumption of the payer. If the drainage volume is significantly lower than the water consumption due to a large amount of evaporation, transpiration or other force majeure, and the outlet has been equipped with automatic online monitoring facilities and other metering equipment, the sewage treatment fee shall be calculated and levied according to the actual drainage volume after being recognized and publicized by the urban drainage competent department or the entrusted third-party organization. For enterprises whose products take water as the main raw material, the sewage treatment fee shall still be calculated and levied according to their water consumption. If the drainage metering equipment has been installed for temporary drainage of construction and drainage of foundation pit, the sewage treatment fee shall be calculated and levied according to the quantity value displayed by the metering equipment; If the drainage metering equipment is not installed or cannot be used normally, the sewage treatment fee shall be charged according to the quota of construction scale.
