What Is a Water Tariff?

The water fee is the fee paid by the unit and individual using water supplied by the water supply project to the water supply unit in accordance with regulations. Provision of water charges is a development trend in modern legislation. Water laws in many countries implement a water charge system for all or part of the water. In 1985, China issued the Measures for the Review, Calculation and Management of Water Fees for Water Conservancy Projects, which made specific provisions on the purpose of collecting water fees, the principles for reviewing water fee standards, and the collection, use and management of water fees . The Water Law also stipulates that when using water supplied by water supply projects, the water fee shall be paid to the water supply unit in accordance with regulations. The purpose of levying water fees is to rationally use water resources, promote water conservation, and ensure the necessary operating management, overhaul, and renovation costs for water conservancy projects.
