Standard regulations for collecting high-rise water charges

Legal analysis: 1. Opinion of Urban Water Supply Center: Ordinary water pressure cannot meet the water demand of high-rise residents, and the community is equipped with secondary pressurization equipment, resulting in secondary pressurization fees. In addition, due to the high terrain and remote location of some residential areas, ordinary water pressure can not meet the requirements of residents, and secondary pressurized water supply is needed. At present, the secondary pressurization fee of tap water is charged by each residential property.

2. The current practice of property management companies: different communities charge different fees. Some only charge secondary pressurization fees to households with more than 7 floors (including 7 floors), and some high-rise residential buildings use secondary pressurization equipment on the whole floor, and all owners have to pay secondary pressurization fees. Most of the charging standards are calculated according to the building area of the family. The higher the floor, the higher the cost.

3. Opinions of the price management department: The secondary pressurization fees charged by high-rise residential quarters are generated after the pressurization equipment is used, and there is no unified charging standard at present. However, the expenses and distribution methods shall be publicized.

Legal basis: Article 49 of the Water Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) measures water according to the approved water use plan.

Implement the system of water metering and charging and over-quota progressive price increase.
