How to calculate the liquidated damages for water charges?

The collection standard of liquidated damages for water charges is that if the water charges are not paid within 15 days after receiving the notice of water charges, an overdue fine of 0.5% will be added daily.

During the owner's residence, it is the basic obligation to pay water and electricity charges. If the water fee is overdue, according to the regulations, if it is overdue for more than 15 days, there will be liquidated damages, which will be calculated according to the number of days of default. For long-term arrears of water charges, the water supply department can take measures such as stopping water supply.

1. What is the standard for collecting liquidated damages for water supply?

The user shall pay the water fee according to the time and method agreed in the water supply contract. If the user fails to pay the water fee for more than 30 days from the next day of meter reading, the urban public water supply enterprise and the water supply unit with self-built facilities shall send a water fee reminder to the user and collect liquidated damages in accordance with the agreement. Users shall pay water charges on a monthly basis in accordance with the prescribed measurement standards and water price standards. If the water fee is not paid within 15 days after receiving the water fee notice, an overdue fine of 5‰ will be added every day according to the amount of water fee payable. If the water fee is not paid for two consecutive months without justifiable reasons or special reasons, the water supply enterprise may suspend water supply in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations on Urban Water Supply.

In other words, if an individual fails to pay the water fee of last month or last quarter, he will be charged a late fee of 0.5% per day according to the water fee of last month or last quarter. For example, last quarter's water fee was in 200 yuan, so if the water fee is not paid in time, a penalty of 0. 1 yuan will be charged every day. Will be received for two months in a row. If you don't pay the water fee and late fee for two months, you will cut off the water.

Second, the specific calculation method is as follows

1. If the user fails to pay the water fee, a penalty of 0.5% will be charged every day.

2. When the monthly water consumption of water users does not reach the bottom flow, it shall be charged according to the bottom flow, and if it exceeds the bottom flow, it shall be charged according to the actual situation. At the end of the month, the fire water flow is 150m3.

Three, several problems that should be paid attention to in recovering water charges:

1. Pay attention to the water supply contract and clarify the rights and obligations of both parties.

2. Strengthen basic management and introduce risk awareness.

3, follow the humanized service, water fee collection work should be gradual.
