The collection of water consumption fees has been "on paper" for more than six years. In the past, due to the 100-year drought, epidemic situation, inflation, and other factors, the deadline for the collection of water consumption fees has yet to be announced. Wang Yifeng, deputy director of the Water Conservancy Department, said that due to the closure of the first phase of rice production in the Jianan Irrigation District this year, the Water Conservancy Department received a warning and must take countermeasures in advance.
After a century of severe drought, epidemics, international economic turmoil, and other events, the water consumption fee has yet to be officially levied. Wang Yifeng, deputy director of the Water Conservancy Department, said it is evaluating when it can assess water consumption fees daily. The consideration conditions include the most critical water conditions, inflation factors, impact on industries, and climate change. The water consumption fee is charged monthly. Among them, the first phase of rice planting in the Jianan Irrigation District this year "completely saves water" and stopped irrigation of 19,000 hectares of farmland. Made the Water Resources Department understand that droughts caused by climate change may occur every year in the future, and the Water Resources Department cannot wait every time. Respond only after it happened.
