At the same time, a hearing on water price adjustment for residential users will also be held on the 31st of this month to listen to the opinions and suggestions of all sectors of society on the water price adjustment scheme for residential users in municipal water supply and drainage service areas.

Let Xiaobian "focus" on you one by one.

1. Q: Which areas of Shanghai residents are involved in the price adjustment?

A: This adjustment covers the water price of residents in the service areas of municipal water supply and drainage enterprises in Shanghai, that is, Shanghai Chengtou Water (Group) Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Pudong Veolia Water Supply Co., Ltd.

It involves Huangpu District, Jing ‘an District, Putuo District, Xuhui District, Yangpu District, Hongkou District, Changning District, Minhang District, Baoshan District, and parts of Pudong New Area and Jiading District.

2. Q: What changes have been made to the water price?

A: The residential ladder water price standard has been raised, as follows.

The comprehensive water price of the first step: adjusted from the current 3.45 yuan per cubic meter to 4.09 yuan.

This price includes two parts: the water supply price is 2.27 yuan per cubic meter, and the sewage treatment fee payable is 1.82 yuan per cubic meter.

Second step comprehensive water price: adjusted from the current 4.83 yuan per cubic meter to 5.72 yuan.

Third step comprehensive water price: adjusted from the current 5.83 yuan per cubic meter to 8.63 yuan.

-The price comparison relationship of water supply price ladder is adjusted to 1:1.7:3, and the sewage treatment fee payable is consistent with that of the first ladder, and the comprehensive water price of the second and third steps is adjusted accordingly.

3. Q: Is there any change in the water quantity of the step?

A: The water quantity of each step of residents remains unchanged.

The water quantity of the first step corresponds to 0-220 cubic meters per household per year (inclusive);

The water quantity of the second step corresponds to 220-300 cubic meters per household per year (inclusive);

The water quantity of the third step corresponds to more than 300 cubic meters per household per year.

4. Q: How much will the monthly water bill actually increase?

A: According to the monthly domestic water consumption of 15 cubic meters per household, the monthly water fee expenditure of each household is about 51.75 yuan before adjustment and 61.35 yuan after adjustment.

Taking 61.35 yuan as an example, this figure accounts for 0.42% of the per capita disposable income of urban permanent residents in Shanghai (calculated according to the statistical data of Shanghai in 2020). The increase in water charges accounts for about six tenths of the average disposable income of households.

5. Q: Is there any change in the preferential policy standard of "one household with many people"?

A: The reporter from Dongfang. com learned that the current preferential policy of "one household with many people" for ladder water price in Shanghai does not involve adjustment and remains unchanged.

[Extension] What is the preferential policy of "one household with many people"?

Families with a large registered population can apply to increase a certain ladder base. The ladder base for increasing water consumption is 100 cubic meters of water per household per year.

Since September last year, the scope of the preferential policy of "one household with many people" has been expanded from the original registered residents who have the same household to those who hold the Household Registration Book, the Residence Registration of Persons with Separate Household Registration in this Municipality, and the Shanghai Residence Permit (including the residence permit for overseas talents) and live together at the same address.

If the cumulative number of people is more than 5, they can apply for increasing the ladder base of water, electricity and gas consumption, and if the cumulative number of people is more than 7, they can apply for the implementation of the average residential ladder price. Each resident user can only apply at one address, and cannot apply at multiple addresses.

6. Q: How do you know which ladder your water consumption belongs to?

A: It can be found through the monthly water bill and the "Shanghai Water Supply" APP just launched in August this year.

The "Shanghai Water Supply" APP has service functions such as business handling, inquiry and payment, fault repair, complaints and suggestions.

How to use it —— Search for "Shanghai Water Supply" in APPle [App Store] or Android [App Store] and download the app. After completing the registration and account binding, you can open an account for residents, transfer residents, register residents in real-name registration system, and automatically push electronic invoices online.

7. Q: What is the current water quality of tap water in Shanghai?

A: The reporter from Dongfang. com learned that the water quality of Shanghai is assessed according to the national standard, and the comprehensive pass rate has reached 99.8%. In order to ensure the safety of water supply and improve the quality of drinking water, Shanghai water supply industry has taken many measures in recent years.

First, build an ecological reservoir, increase pretreatment facilities of sodium hypochlorite and powdered activated carbon, and continuously improve the quality of raw water.

The second is to carry out advanced treatment and transformation of water plants, and continuously improve the water quality of the factory. The advanced treatment rate of the city has increased from 19% in 2013 to 60% at present. Third, through the rolling renewal of the old pipe network and the renovation of the secondary water supply facilities in residential buildings, online monitoring points and secondary water supply sampling points of the pipe network are set up, and the terminal water quality detection index and frequency are increased to continuously improve the terminal water quality of the pipe network.

At present, compared with the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the water quality of Shanghai’s pipe network has decreased by 31%, and the water quality is clearer. The chroma drops by 37%, making the look and feel more transparent; The residual chlorine decreased by 25%, and the taste was further improved. The permanganate index of organic matter in water decreased by 26%, making drinking water healthier and safer.

During the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, Shanghai will accelerate the advanced treatment and transformation of water plants, and the advanced treatment rate of water plants will reach 90% in 2025, and the renewal of 2,000 km old water supply pipe network will be completed simultaneously, and the water quality management of raw water, factory water, pipe network water and secondary water supply will be continuously strengthened to continuously improve the drinking water quality of citizens.
