It is very obvious that water recourse is more and more important and indispensable for not only themankind living but also the development of economy. But as to China, considered the geographical position,the shortage and not–balanced-distribution make the water recourse much more domestic. Although thereality is not optimistic, the pollution and waste by the economic growth are going to be serious day afterday. The main product produced by natural water is tap water which is significant in the national productionand people’s life. As public goods, the price of tap water is a very important work for the government,which has close relationship with the development of economic and the security of people’s livelihood. Inthe view of the above reasons, there is important realistic significance to study the pricing of tap waterwithin the Chinese cities.The thesis takes Xinxiang City as an example to do a comprehensive research on the pricingmanagement of tap water of cities in China. The starting point is to build an economical society, protectenvironment, conserve water resource, and secure people’s life under the relevant supporting theoretichelping provincially-administered city government consummate the setting and managing of the tap waterprice with the relevant policies which can boost the production and income benefit of enterprises. Thethesis particularizes and analyses the differences on tap water institutions among America, U.K., France,and China and the legal basis of tap water price setting in China, researching tap water price theoretic, tapwater price setting model at home and broad on the groundwork of developing trend. It bounds relevantconceptions. In order to establish a stable theoretic foundation for the further research, the industrycharacteristics and characteristics of tap water in cities, the content of tap water price setting are mainlyexplained in the introduction of relevant conceptions. The issues existing in price setting and managing andcurrent situation of tap water in Xinxiang City at present are analyzed according to the development andcurrent situation of tap water price management of Xinxiang City. After the reform of tap water pricesystem, the price of tap water in Xinxiang is at a relatively reasonable level, but the issues such as themanagement babuism in water supply, price setting not reflecting cost, price not benefiting to conserve andprotect resource, and price management lacking legal basis, still exist in the price setting and managing.The policy suggestions of the improvement of tap water setting and managing system in Xinxiang City areexpatiated according to the issues above. With the analysis of the reasonable and perfect tap water price in developed countries, the conclusion could be that the policy setting of tap water price in Chinese citiesshould assort with the cost of tap water supply and marketing, ecological environment, consumers’ earningand consumption level and so on. A series of policy suggestions are put forward from the perspectives ofthe policy making of government management, the support of the tap water industry by government, andthe guidance of tap water enterprises by government under market mechanism.Firstly, make a more scientific pricing standard consideration. On one hand, the price of waterresource and the price of environmental cost should not be lonely valuated but be valuated in the total costof tap water;on other hand, the multiple item on the base of the reasonable profit should be brought into thefinancial unified arrangement to Water infrastructure construction in remote areas, the subsides to the lowincome family and the reward to the high efficiency enterprises.Secondly, adjust the function of the government department involving in the tap water. Nowadays, themaintain functions of the government department involving in the tap water are supply function bearing bythe construction sectors, the management of charging and wells bearing by water conservancy department,and the arrangement of the pollution handling bearing by environmental protection department. Since thefunctions bearing by all the above departments are overlapped, the management efficiency is very low andthe profit is entangled, which has hindered the development of the tap water industry. Therefore, there is asuggestion that the functions are all intergraded in one department to help formatting the convenient andefficient management.Thirdly, make the price adjustment institutionalized. The cost supervision and examination systemmust be established at fixed period. If the price of tap water doesn’t accord with the report of the costsupervision and examination, the price must be adjusted. The style of the price adjustment must be rejectedthe man-controlling, then the scientific math motto can be used in the procedure. The hearing proceduremust be regulated, which means the transparency of the hearing procedure should be increased and thegrassroots opinions reflected should be wider.Finally, vary the tap water price mode such as increasing water rate, two-part water tariff, seasonalwater price, and so on. All these modes can be comprehensively used to adjust the water structure,consumption demand, and the water supply style.
