A survey report on strengthening the management of rural safe drinking water

In order to promote the construction and management of rural safe drinking water projects in our district and effectively improve the level of safe drinking water, according to the arrangement of the 2xx annual consultation work plan, some members of the CPPCC organized a preliminary survey from October 1 to 17 in 13 villages, 5 resettlement sites and 1 water supply company run by 6 towns including Yecun and Yaoshi. On October 22nd, some members were organized to go deep into centralized water supply points in Dajing Town, Jianfang Limin Water Supply Station and Hejiayuan Water Supply Point in Yecun Town, and conducted centralized research on rural safe drinking water in our district through on-site inspection, home visits, listening to reports and face-to-face discussions. The investigation is now reported as follows:

1. Current situation and characteristics

Since 2xx, our district has invested xx million yuan in rural drinking water project construction and built xx water supply projects of various types. Among them, there are xx underground water sources and xx surface water sources. The designed water supply capacity is xx million m3/ day, and the water supply scope covers xx towns in the whole region, which solves the drinking water problem of xx million people. The rural tap water penetration rate reaches xx%, and the water supply guarantee rate reaches xx%. The work of safe drinking water in rural areas in the whole region has achieved phased results, mainly showing the following four characteristics: < P > First, leaders attach importance to it and implement their responsibilities. The district government attaches great importance to the construction and management of rural safe drinking water projects, regards rural drinking water safety as an important livelihood project to speed up farmers' poverty alleviation and build a well-off society in an all-round way, and has established a rural safe drinking water project construction headquarters with the district head as the chief commander, the deputy head in charge as the deputy chief commander, and the development and reform, finance, water affairs and other departments as members to strengthen organizational leadership and departmental cooperation. The responsibilities of organizational leadership, main responsibility and departmental cooperation were clarified, the work tasks were consolidated, the time nodes were delineated, and the promotion measures were strengthened, which provided a strong guarantee for the orderly and effective implementation of rural safe drinking water project construction and management in the whole region.

the second is to plan scientifically according to local conditions. The district government and functional departments adhere to the working idea of making use of water resources, saving costs, managing after construction and leaning towards drinking water-difficult areas, tourist attractions, immigrant development zones and urban planning zones, strengthen the coordination and connection between rural drinking water safety engineering planning and town-run village layout planning and immigrant development zone construction, and scientifically and reasonably compile rural drinking water safety in our region around the overall deployment of poverty alleviation in the whole region, in accordance with the principles of overall planning, highlighting key points and adapting measures to local conditions, taking centralized water supply as the mainstay and decentralized water supply as the supplement.

Third, pay attention to quality and standardize construction. In order to build a safe drinking water project in rural areas, the district government and the water department strictly control the quality in the construction of drinking water safety projects, conscientiously implement the basic construction procedures of the projects, strictly observe the system, select design units and supervision units with corresponding qualifications for project design and quality supervision, and all equipment procurement and construction units are open to public bidding. The construction unit is required to strictly implement the "three inspection system" in the construction, thus achieving safe production and civilized construction. In the implementation of engineering construction, a quality assurance system is established, in which the project legal person is responsible, the supervision unit controls, the construction unit guarantees and the quality supervision station supervises, so as to ensure the quality of safe drinking water project construction steadily.

the fourth is to establish rules and regulations and strengthen management. In order to strengthen the operation and management of water supply projects in towns and villages in the whole region and ensure the normal operation of water supply facilities, the district government has successively issued two policy documents, namely, Measures for the Operation and Management of Water Supply Projects in Towns and Villages in xx District and Measures for the Management and Use of Maintenance Funds for Water Supply Projects in xx District, to pay close attention to the operation and management of rural drinking water projects. At present, the management of rural drinking water safety projects in our region has initially formed a model that the single village water supply project is managed by the villagers themselves, and the joint village centralized water supply project is managed by the water supply station, so as to reasonably check the water supply price, adhere to independent operation and assume sole responsibility for its own profits and losses, and effectively solve the water supply-related costs and expenses. At the same time, strengthen the sampling inspection of drinking water to ensure the safety of drinking water to the utmost extent. While introducing clean water to thousands of households, it has also fulfilled the long-awaited desire of the people for convenient and safe water use and become a popular project that the people are satisfied with.

II. Difficulties and Problems

Although the rural drinking water safety work in our district has achieved remarkable results, according to the investigation, there are still some outstanding problems that cannot be ignored, mainly in the following aspects:

(1) The ideological understanding is not in place. The awareness of the importance of drinking water safety by individual departments and town offices is still not in place, and the publicity and implementation of the Measures for the Operation and Management of Water Supply Projects in Towns and Villages in xx District is a mere formality. The masses have a low awareness of the current national rural safe drinking water project construction management measures, investment mechanisms and other policies, and lack awareness of water conservation, paid use of water resources and water source protection. The leaders in charge of relevant departments, business personnel and township and village cadres have little regular study and training, and the implementation of policies and regulations and the improvement of business ability are slow, which is not conducive to effective work; Some people have a weak awareness of paid water use, and they have resistance to the collection of water charges. The collection of water charges is difficult, which seriously affects the normal utilization of water supply facilities.

(2) insufficient capital investment. The rural safe drinking water project involves a large amount and a wide range. In addition, the time requirement for poverty alleviation is strict, the tasks are constantly increasing, and the funds for project planning and design are lacking. Affected by objective conditions and natural factors, the matching funds for engineering construction are not in place. The village-level economy is generally weak, and it is difficult to implement the self-raised parts such as pipe bed excavation and backfilling and project land occupation in drinking water project construction. The district finance fails to implement the project maintenance fund budget, the drinking water project has poor disaster resistance, and the project water quality testing cost cannot be implemented. In particular, in some centralized resettlement sites for migrants, the water supply pipes are frozen and damaged, and there is no funds to repair them, which leads to the residents' inability to use water normally. For example, in Songyun and Songgou, two resettlement sites for migrants, the local government pays for the maintenance of facilities, the salaries of managers and other expenses, and there is a big gap in management and protection funds.

(3) The water quality is unsafe. The rural safe drinking water project in the whole region is basically based on decentralized water supply in villages or groups, with relatively few centralized water supply modes, wide water sources, poor management and protection ability and great pressure on water quality guarantee. The phenomenon of "dirty and dirty" in rural environment and the problem of non-point source pollution have not been effectively solved, and the drinking water source environment is poor; The delineation scope, facilities and system of drinking water source protection areas are not in place. The main responsibility of drinking water safety from the source to the faucet is not clear, the guarantee system is not perfect, the water quality testing equipment and personnel are not in place, the testing business level is low, the water quality testing is not frequent, the testing data is not made public, and the hidden dangers of drinking water safety are worrying.

(D) Management lags behind after construction. The survey found that most water plants are only managed by one or two surrounding villagers, and the management level is low, and the service can't keep up, which affects the production and life of the people. In the operation and management, except for centralized water supply, village cadres are basically entrusted with their duties. There is no charge for self-flowing drinking water, and only electricity is charged for drilling wells and pumping water. There is no establishment and improvement of management personnel selection, training and certification, performance appraisal, risk mitigation in initial operation and maintenance, and reasonable water price compensation mechanism, which leads to irregular management in the later stage of drinking water project, untimely maintenance of facilities, frequent water stoppage and waterless phenomenon, and the problem of light management in reconstruction is more prominent.

III. Opinions and suggestions

(1) Raise awareness and do a solid job in publicity and training. Governments at all levels should attach great importance to rural drinking water safety, put this work on the important agenda, and widely publicize rural safe drinking water policies such as Measures for the Operation and Management of Water Supply Projects in Towns and Villages in xx District, Measures for the Management and Use of Maintenance Funds for Water Supply Projects in Towns and Villages in xx District, and Regulations on the Safety Management of Rural Drinking Water in xx City through radio and television, newspapers and the Internet, so as to constantly raise the awareness of the masses about the importance of water safety. Further intensify publicity, vigorously carry out popular science propaganda on drinking water safety, water conservation and paid use of water resources, and effectively enhance farmers' awareness of water resources hardship, environmental protection and drinking water safety. Strengthen the training of basic engineering technology and management personnel, improve the professional level and management level, and provide a strong guarantee for drinking water safety.

(2) increase investment and strengthen financial security. Actively strive for special funds in China, increase the integration of district-level financial budget and funds, continuously broaden investment and financing channels, encourage and attract social capital to participate in project construction management, further improve the water fee collection system, make overall plans to promote poverty alleviation and consolidate and upgrade drinking water safety, effectively solve the problems existing in the renovation and upgrading of rural drinking water safety projects, such as inadequate allocation of funds for pre-planning and design, supporting projects, maintenance and maintenance in the later stage of the project, and insecure funds for water quality monitoring, so as to ensure the completion, good management and safety of rural drinking water projects.

(3) Take measures to ensure the safety of drinking water in rural areas. Strengthen source protection, delimit water source protection areas according to law, clarify the scope of protection and implement protection measures. Learn from foreign experience, set up our water quality monitoring center as soon as possible, explore the establishment of rural safe drinking water security system, strive to achieve full coverage of water quality monitoring in rural safe drinking water projects, and strengthen water quality inspection and monitoring work. In strict accordance with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations, establish and improve the water source inspection system, strengthen the law enforcement inspection of water source protection through regular inspections and irregular inspections, and implement all-round, whole-process and normalized management. Intensify the improvement of rural human settlements, eliminate rural non-point source pollution, and strictly control pollutant discharge. Adhere to the regular sampling and testing of water quality, open the testing data, and establish a file of rural water quality to ensure that the water quality is clean, hygienic and safe, so that the people can eat safe water and rest assured.

investigation report on strengthening the management of rural safe drinking water

1. the present situation of rural safe drinking water projects in the county

Zhenlai county has 11 townships (towns) and farms and 487 natural villages. Total resident population in rural areas 22. 23 thousand people. By the end of 2xx, * * * had solved 325 rural drinking water unsafe villages such as high fluorine water, polluted water and excessive ferromanganese, and 325 rural drinking water safety projects had been built, which solved 175,1 people with unsafe drinking water in rural areas, accounting for 78.8% of the total rural population, and achieved good results in the construction of rural drinking water safety projects. However, since the implementation of the rural safe drinking water project, due to natural disasters, lack of construction and maintenance funds, poor management after construction and other reasons, more than 12 rural safe drinking water projects in the county have been stopped, including: the frozen layer depth reached 2.6 meters in winter in 2xx, and 46 pipe networks were frozen; Lack of matching funds for power equipment has not been used in 11 places; The water quality of iron and manganese exceeded the standard and stopped using 45 places; Management work is not in place, operating funds are insufficient, farmers use their own small deep wells, etc. 18 projects have been stopped, and only 25 projects can be used normally. The number of people drinking safe water in rural areas in the county is less than 14,, accounting for 8% of the total number of people implementing safe drinking water projects in rural areas, accounting for 63% of the total rural resident population in the county. The utilization rate of rural safe drinking water projects in the county is declining year by year. Up to now, there are still 162 natural villages with 47,2 people in the county. Due to the small villages, scattered distribution and large local supporting funds, the rural safe drinking water project has not been implemented.

second, the existing problems

(a) some rural residents have misunderstandings about safe and sanitary water. Nowadays, due to the lagging health concept of some rural residents, the construction, management and development of rural safe drinking water projects are restricted. First, most people regard rural safe drinking water projects as a kind of welfare of the government, and think that they are all government affairs, and the construction, maintenance, management and operation of labor, labor and investment have little to do with themselves. Second, some people think that rural safe drinking water can only meet farmers' daily living water, and livestock and some production water have to be solved by farmers digging deep wells themselves, which is not practical. Third, there are still some people who don't have a deep understanding of the relationship between safe drinking water and health.

(2) lack of effective operation and management mechanism. Most rural safe drinking water projects are coordinated and declared by township governments and organized and implemented by water conservancy departments. After the completion of the project, the township government and functional departments generally think that the task has been completed, and there is no research and guidance on the operation of the waterworks in the later period, and there is a lack of long-term mechanism for effective operation and management. At present, the main body responsible for the management of rural safe drinking water projects is not clear, and most of them are simply managed by village collectives. The management is diversified and simplified, and a good transportation and management mechanism has not been formed. Under the circumstances that the village-level financial resources are insufficient and the energy is limited, and the support and management of township governments and functional departments are not in place, the rural safe drinking water project that has been implemented is moving towards semi-paralysis year by year.

(3) Other aspects. First, due to the design, construction or soil problems of the project before 2xx, in some places, the village water supply pipeline was not buried deeply enough to completely resist the cold, resulting in the frequent freezing damage of some village water supply pipelines, which could not supply water for half a year. Increased the operation and maintenance costs, and even failed to work normally. Second, at this stage, most villages can't supply water all day, but only at a fixed time. Farmers often miss the water supply period or need to leave someone to store water at home during the busy farming season, which is inconvenient for production and life. Third, some villages are small and scattered, and the funds for independent operation are insufficient.

III. Suggestions on Strengthening the Management of Safe Drinking Water in Rural Areas

According to the requirements of * * Zhengfa * * No.6 "Implementation Opinions of the People's Government of * * Province on Strengthening the Construction and Management of Safe Drinking Water Projects in Rural Areas", we will formulate the "Implementation Measures for the Construction and Management of Safe Drinking Water Projects in Rural Areas" as soon as possible, focusing on the following aspects:

First, we must strengthen publicity and realize the importance of implementing the work of safe drinking water in rural areas. Let rural cadres and the masses deeply understand that safe drinking water is a livelihood event that the state attaches great importance to and invests heavily in, improving the quality of life of rural residents and ensuring the health of farmers and future generations, thus attracting great attention and extensive participation.

the second is to clarify the main responsibility. The project construction still adopts the construction mode of organization and implementation by the water conservancy department and cooperation between township (town) and field; The main body of management responsibility is the township government and its water management department, which is responsible for the implementation of the "Implementation Measures" and the organization and management of equipment maintenance, facility maintenance and operation supervision.

the third is to attract social funds to participate in management. Individual contracting or leasing can be adopted. At the same time, considering that the rural safe drinking water project has the characteristics of public welfare, it can't be completely market-oriented and can't be for profit, so the government reserves a part of the water fee as a special fund for safe operation and maintenance of drinking water under the premise of regulating water prices. Large maintenance and renovation projects are undertaken by county and township governments. The advantages of contracting or leasing operation are standardized, practical and sustainable from management to operation, and it is also convenient for the masses to supervise, improve the service quality and facilitate the production and life of the masses.

fourth, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and form long-term effective management methods. The county government should instruct the Water Conservancy Bureau and the township governments to investigate and grasp the current situation of the county's safe drinking water project, especially the feasibility assessment and maintenance plan for the resumption of operation of more than 12 waterworks that have stopped operating. Through investigation, a long-term and effective construction and management method of rural safe drinking water project in the county is formed, so that the normal operation can gradually improve the drinking water safety standard and the waterworks that can be repaired and restored can be operated as soon as possible.
