Before the end of this year, Heshan City will levy a 0.8 yuan/ton sewage treatment fee for users discharging sewage and wastewater from the urban planning area. The current collection standard is 0.3 yuan/ton. The Heshan Municipal Price Bureau, the Environmental Protection Agency, and more than 20 representatives from different sections of different organizations participated in the hearing on this issue.
Previous collection standards were low
According to the person in charge of the Heshan City Environmental Protection Bureau, the country and the province have recently put forward new requirements for the sewage treatment fee collection standards, and the collection of sewage treatment fees according to the new standard is a general trend.
It is reported that the sewage treatment fees collected in Heshan City have undergone a process from “laziness†to gradual formalization. In the 1980s, Heshan had the requirement of collecting sewage treatment fees, but at that time it was able to collect income and receive no mandatory measures. Until the 1990s, it gradually became on track, but many of them were not perfect. After 2002, efforts have been stepped up to require certain revenue. From June 2002 to May 2003, 0.2 yuan per ton of water was collected. From June 1, 2003, 0.3 yuan was charged per ton of water, but there has been no specific standard. And clear opinions. Until 2008, there were mandatory indicators from the central government to local governments, and the collection of sewage treatment fees according to the new standard became an urgent task.
According to relevant sources, the previous standard of Heshan was seriously low, and the sewage treatment fee collection was in a relatively lagging phase. The main performance was in two aspects: First, the average sewage treatment fee for the nine prefecture-level cities in the Pearl River Delta region was 0.63 yuan. / Tons, the standard for collection of Heshan City is seriously lower than that of the other; second, the State proposes that the collection of sewage treatment should achieve the objective of ensuring the maintenance of capital and low profits. At present, the second sewage treatment plant in the city is preparing to start construction and the cost of sewage treatment. It has been estimated that the current 0.3 yuan/ton levy standard is far from meeting the requirement of maintaining low profit margins.
According to reports, adding pollution treatment fees is a powerful means to encourage companies and citizens to save water. At present, Heshan City is not rich in water resources, the pollution situation is grave, and there is a serious waste of domestic water. Sewage treatment fees have a small selection area and the charging standard is low. Many enterprises and residents do not realize the preciousness of water resources. Representatives at the hearing pointed out that by adding sewage treatment fees, it may be possible for some companies with large water consumption to be self-disciplined and also to increase residents' awareness of water conservation.
Does the wastewater discharge company have to pay this fee?
Representatives at the hearing pointed out that some companies already provide industrial sewage treatment facilities. If they have already treated the sewage, are they still required to pay this fee? According to the person in charge of the EPA, if companies meet the discharge standards, they can directly discharge into rivers and rivers, and they can be exempted. This was also the case in the past. If these enterprises have wastewater treatment equipment, the discharged water is still not up to standard. Standard sewage charges and sewage treatment fees are both levied. The person in charge said: "This is to make the company take responsibility and not to make sewage treatment equipment a decoration."
Representatives of the hearings generally agreed that sewage treatment fees should be levied, and whether domestic sewage and industrial sewage should be collected in accordance with uniform standards, whether the additional sewage treatment fee is too large, and the sewage treatment fees of some welfare social institutions. According to the conditions, the Heshan Price Bureau will submit the opinions of the delegates to the Heshan Municipal Government for further discussion.
In addition, the Heshan Second Wastewater Treatment Plant, with a total investment of 70.84 million yuan, is under construction and is expected to be put into use in June of this year. The project will address more than 90% of domestic sewage in Heshan City. From the heavy investment in the construction of pollution control projects to the collection of sewage treatment fees, it can be seen that environmental issues have caused the Heshan government to attach great importance.
