First, the price of the status quo of Jiangsu Water Supply

Since 1982, Jiangsu Province, water conservancy water levy (hereinafter referred to as water charges, water pricing reform has gone through four (1982, 1989, 1995, 2000. The fourth step is currently running water (Su-price work [2000] No. 142, water from the Soviet Union [2000] 7, the text was agreed in 2000 by the provincial government of Jiangsu Provincial Price Bureau and the Department of Water Resources jointly developed (see Table 1, the province's water slice of category pricing, comprehensive water price is 1.85 points / m from January 1, 2001, the water from the fees charged to operating management, Water Supply .2008 introduction of market-oriented operation in October, Jiangsu Provincial Price Bureau and Department of Water Resources jointly issued a <<Jiangsu Province Water Supply price control measures for implementation>>, Jiangsu Province, marked the reform of water entered a new phase.


Second, Jiangsu Water supply and use of management Shuifeijishou

(A Shuifeijishou Management
As Jiangsu flat, many rivers and lakes, dense water network, a separate province in addition to basic water supply reservoir can be, the other areas to implement inter-basin water transfer, Sluice Gate Station, operated jointly by the unified water supply due to the water feature, Jiangsu Province, the current Shuifeijishou management system, in addition to the reservoir chip, the vast majority of water supply project management unit can not be directly charged, only through the establishment of provincial, municipal, and county agencies responsible for managing water charges, a unified management and management at different levels with combination of management. provincial institutions do not directly collect water, municipal and county level institutions to collect, account set up water to the county, provincial, municipal and county levels by a certain percentage of the charge into the water to achieve corresponding levels of compensation cost of water.

Jiangsu levy water charges since 1982, the annual water charges have been paid to various types of water-based agriculture, the proportion has been more than 50% in recent years, the number of paid non-agricultural water has increased due to agricultural water Basically, the main characteristics of irrigation methods, metering and charging current can not be implemented, so most areas of Jiangsu Province at the present stage of agricultural water to be collected by way of acres. basically non-agricultural water charges by side.

(B Water Use Management
Established in 1992, according to <<Jiangsu Province, water conservancy project financial management of water>> (There is no introduction of new methods, water is mainly used for water supply projects and water utilization project part of the management fees and operating expenses, repair and maintenance costs , overhaul and renovation costs, and specifically to deal with institutions at all levels of water management by the approved personnel costs costs are not included in fixed assets (depreciation of water supply projects.

National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Water Resources issued in 2003 <<Water Supply price control measures>> the use of hydraulic engineering and water management requirements under the State Council administrative department in charge of finance and water related financial and accounting system implementation, but the Ministry of Finance 1994 promulgated in <<Water Management Units financial system>> and <<Water Management Units financial accounting system (Interim>> regulations on the use of water can not meet the <<Water Supply price control measures>> requirements.


Third, the cost of the status quo of Jiangsu Water Supply

(A Jiangsu Water supply current expenditure approach
1 provincial project management unit is responsible for water supply important node, hub project (step Pumping Station, the main watershed sluice operation, maintenance and management of water supply units in the salaries of personnel management fees according to standard departmental budget preparation, full provincial fiscal burden, the provincial government be allocated water during the drought turned the electricity, fuel and other expenses such as turning water running costs.

(2) city and county administration of the province designated Pumping Station approved by the provincial water authorities fixed grants for provincial fiscal transfers to the city and county Finance, daily funding municipal, county financial burden, turn the water during the drought of electricity, fuel costs and other expenses the cost of turning the water to run the provincial Water Resources Department review, the provincial government issued.

3 provincial and municipal water supply project management units and county administration of the province designated Pumping Station of the major stations and flood repair and maintenance costs, repair funding by the provincial fiscal year-old special assignment, to make up for turning the water loss during the operation of water supply projects (equivalent to compensation depreciation of water supply projects.

4 City, county water supply project management unit types of costs mainly by the local financial commitment, the provincial flood control and drought boot financial situation based on the annual grant appropriate subsidies.

(B Jiangsu current cost of Water Supply
Jiangsu Province, conducted in 2003 estimated the cost of water supply to National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Water Resources issued <<Water Supply price control measures>> the cost of compliance projects based Water Supply cost price by the water production costs (direct wages, direct material costs, other direct expenses and fixed assets, depreciation, repairs, water fees, manufacturing costs, water production costs (sales charges, management fees, finance charges, profits and taxes composition, the province estimates the actual cost of supply 6.3 points / m (not included in water charges, profits and taxes.


Fourth, Jiangsu Water Supply adverse effects of price subsidies and

(A current price of financial subsidies, Jiangsu
The existing sub-1.85 Jiangsu integrated water / cubic meter, or about 2003, estimated the actual cost of supply of 6.3 points / m 30% of the actual cost of water prices and water supply there is a huge price difference between this one spread in the current operating mechanism The following performance: the province's actual annual fee insufficient to cover the hydraulic water supply costs, water users of water costs far lower than the actual cost of each unit of water borne finance salaries and management fees of most of the flood, age repair, maintenance and upkeep major stations, drought turned expenditure on water for water users to form a water price subsidies (financial dark make up.

(Two on the concept of financial subsidies
Financial subsidies by the Government to fulfill their social and Economic management functions, according to a certain period of national political and Economic needs of the situation, directly or indirectly, of the Economic organizations and rural residents of the free grants now there are basically four types of financial subsidies in China, namely, price subsidies, subsidies to business losses, interest expense subsidies and living subsidies which price subsidies are a major component of China's financial subsidies part of the financial subsidies as a transfer expenditure, this approach is not directly to the government to buy on the market, and is to accept the transfer of funds transferred to the capital markets businesses and individuals to buy goods and services. has a strong financial subsidy policy can not be used for other purposes can be for financial subsidies to implement account management, funds closed to run.

Financial subsidies can be divided into the dark make up and fill out two forms, the Financial dark make up: the state through subsidies to production units to a certain degree of spread, so that some of the goods or services below their true value to the supply of consumer prices of a financial subsidy, such as Jiangsu Province, is a price the price of water is essentially the dark make up the Financial the next meeting: the state directly to consumers to provide cash to improve its Economic income, a financial subsidy.


(Three negative impact of price subsidies
Financial subsidies to maintain a water supply unit to run, but the water supply units are not fully compensate for the depreciation of water supply projects, water supply facilities, lack of adequate maintenance in the current water management system and operational mechanism, the aging water supply facilities, water supply unit disrepair, water supply does not count the cost, without regard to economic efficiency; uncontrolled water users when water, eating pot of water wasted due to the price of water in the water resources in the price of leverage has not been fully reflected, water supply units and water users economic interests are not directly linked, resulting in a significant waste of water resources, while increasing the financial burden. this does not arouse the whole society to fully understand the importance of water conservation, can not mobilize the whole society's consciousness to protect water resources and enthusiasm.


Fifth, the reform of financial subsidies, Jiangsu water idea to go step by step

The first step: the implementation of the current fiscal year funding subsidy contract. To maintain the current operation mode, water retention at all levels of the basic units of personnel management fees, financial aid funded by the competent authorities at all levels of water supply units for the fiscal year of the contract required flood control, age repair, maintenance and upkeep major stations, drought turned water (based on average of 3-5 years of responsible management contractor base some 3-5 years, and with the price of water increase, water revenues increase, the contractor base 3-5 years decreasing.

To do:
1 According to the flood water units, annual repairs, repair and maintenance of major stations, such as years of drought mean turning water (3-5 years, by the water authorities at all levels of the financial annual contract and, based on the actual turning of the water supply unit transfers the situation and if the savings part of the surplus funds under the water when the unit cost of water supply for many years (3-5 years the ratio of the average drop of water turned to reward (the purpose is to mobilize the enthusiasm of the water supply unit, reduce supply costs, but also for future water supply lay the foundation for cost estimation, part of the surplus funds are earmarked for water supply and water infrastructure. encounter special circumstances (such as floods or drought, according to the actual situation by the Financial contracting additional funding. Links to free download http:/ / www.hi138.com 2 cities, counties, specifically to deal with agencies responsible for water and gradually increase according to the current price of water or collect water and turned over to the authorities at all levels of water (to maintain the existing provincial, municipal and county water into the same proportion.

3 With the gradual improvement of water, water conservancy departments at all levels of water charges increased year by year, the annual subsidy to the financial contract funding decreasing after 3-5 years.

The program allows the water supply unit supply cost savings initiative, project operation, maintenance, conservation and orderly, competent authorities at all levels can master the water supply unit to the actual cost of supply and turn water situation, gradually increase as the price of water, 3 - 5 years after the financial year to reduce the annual contract, financial subsidies (hidden subsidies are decreasing, but still can not reach conscious use of water users water conservation purposes.

Step two: charge the actual cost of water supply With the steady improvement of the province's water to remove the water supply unit's personnel at all levels of management fees and financial capital grants for flood control, annual repairs, repair and maintenance of major stations, water and other drought-turn annual contract funding, the water supply unit according to the actual cost price (without tax payments and profit calculated according to the actual turning of water charges due. receivables paid water and water (at the implementation of the difference between the price calculated by the water sector at all levels to finance the collection, and paid to the water supply unit.

To do:
1 unit no longer finance the supply of personnel management fees and direct subsidies to flood control, annual repairs, repair and maintenance of major stations, water and other drought-turn, the water supply unit in accordance with <<Water Supply price control measures>> measure the actual project cost of compliance water supply cost price (3-5 years on average, not tax payments and profit, calculated according to the actual annual amount of water turned water each year the sum due.

2 provinces, cities and counties began implementation of sub-classification of valuation, an annual provincial, city and county agencies responsible for managing water and gradually increase after the price of water by water users to collect water, collect water charges remitted to the Water-level authorities (left to provincial, municipal and county agencies responsible for managing water management fee by approved personnel.

3 units of water each year due water and the difference between paid in part by the water conservancy departments at all levels of aggregation, after examination, the financial charge.

4 levels of water authorities responsible for water and paid water charges to pay to finance the water supply units (according to the actual water cost.

The program can further increase the water supply unit cost savings efforts, project management and sound operation of the order, also use water-saving household to take further measures, financial subsidies (up to further reduce the dark, but the water is not fully in place, not entirely to the market, can not fully meet water conservation, optimal allocation of water resources purposes.

The third step: full market price, financial price of water to implement the next meeting. Entirely to the market price, plus the cost of water supply under the margin pricing (agricultural water supply according to compensate for the cost of production, approved the principle of cost, excluding profits and taxes Financial for water users to implement end price subsidies (the next meeting), the market price and the time difference between the execution price in cash subsidies to water users, the implementation of "approved base, lump sum to use, savings have been classified, cost overruns have not been replaced. "water in full accordance with" usable water metering and charging, planning water base price charges beyond the plan of water, a progressive increase fees. "
To do:
1 year the provincial Water Resources Department and the provincial Department of Finance jointly issued the province's water plan and financial subsidy program, planned by the basic price of water, the difference between the price of water with the local terminal, from financial subsidies to water users, the implementation of the price the next meeting. account the funds must be stored, used for other purposes, can not be mixed with other funds.

2 provincial, municipal and county water under Ministry of Water Resources goalkeeper to all water users, the financial sector subsidy payments allocated to all water users (to a monthly allocation. On the water have not exceeded the planned savings of water users, water conservation will subsidize shall form a savings, you can encourage water users to take further water saving measures, water users will be beyond the plan "beyond the plan of water, a progressive increase fees," overdue will be charged late fees, and restrictions on their water, so can effectively promote their conservation.

3 provincial, municipal and county water agency responsible for managing the market price charged to all water users, water, water in full accordance with "usable water metering and charging, planning water base price charges beyond the plan of water, a progressive increase fees . "charged by the special account and turned over to the authorities at all levels of water (left to provincial, municipal and county agencies responsible for managing water management fee by the authorized personnel.

4 levels of water authorities will be charged as part of the water supply by the supply unit cost plus profit (the price below the profit margin is calculated and the actual turn paid to the water supply units, water supply and water continue to be used as part of infrastructure transformation.

The program builds on the price of water completely to the market, the measurement of the water supply facility entrances relatively well, all water users through water re-calculated and fixed on the basis of reasonable by price lever mechanism, the use of household water conscious water conservation, water resources reasonable optimization, supply units and water supply projects and embark on a virtuous cycle of Development and orderly management of the track, but also to minimize financial subsidies, financial subsidies to play the greatest economic benefits.


VI Conclusion

Reform of water subsidies, darken up as the next meeting, give full play to the price leverage, you can change the course of the current supply regardless of the cost, without regard to cost, depreciation not compensated for water supply projects, water supply facilities, running overload conditions, can water users to promote better water conservation, water conservation society, but also optimize the allocation of water resources can reasonably protect the ecological environment and play for money.

Taking into account the price increase covers a wide range, related to the vital interests of the masses, so the water price reform should take "an active and steady, step by step, the accumulation of experience, and gradually put in place" approach and strategy, and ultimately to the market price of water completely .
