Water resource shortage has already become the severe problem of restricting economic and social sustainable development. The price is the indicator of the rare resource, and the tool of distributing resources rationally. The reasonable utilization of the water resource depends on the scientific and reasonable water price mechanism. The function exertion of water price mechanism and the rational utilization of water depend on the proper pricing policy of water and implement effectively. The natural monopoly of urban water supply is strong, resource-binding character is strong, and urban water supply possesses the characteristics of necessities. The automatic mechanism of water price unable realizes rational distribution and utilization of the water resource. So it is necessary for the government to control the price of water. On the basis of urban water necessity, centering on efficiency and fair goal, it is the core of the urban water price control policy to make the level and structure of price rational. The pricing policy of economizing on water saving has reduced the excessively increasing water demand effectively. But the price control lacks the scientific, normal management method and strong operability, lack the mechanism to restrain cost, lack the incentive mechanism of efficiency; and the management system reform of supplying water of enterprises lags behind, consequently, the reform of water price is restricted. The problem of the price of the urban water supply on the unreasonable low level still exists, and the problem of unreasonable price structure still exists. Aim at the existing problems, we should set up scientific water price mechanism goal, so as to clear the reform way of urban water price control. That is: reforming management system of urban water supply enterprises, really separating government function from enterprise management, establishing the special permit management system; choosing the scientific method to control the price level of the urban water supply, establishing funds of regulating urban water price, perfecting the price structure of the urban water supply, pushing into measuring the price of the urban water with the ladder type actively, raising the sewage disposal fee previously; adjusting the water resource fee rationally, reforming the policy of remitting expenditure of low-income household; establishing the mechanism of controlling cost, strengthen the criterion and supervision on the cost of the urban water supply; perfecting scientific, democratic, normative, open system of controlling the price of the urban water supply.
