Research on the Ladder Pricing Method of Reclaim Water Based on Cost-Plus

Abstract:

Reclaimed water can effectively alleviate the water crisis which is the second water source of city. The functional relations in cost price, demand and transportation of the reclaimed water using are determined by the method of cost-plus which is based on the premise that the funds of reclaimed water network construction should be recovered. The users are divided into different groups according to the distance between the user and the water recycling. According to the demand diversity in different users, a complex tiered pricing model is established which is relevant of water requirement and the distance of conveyance. Finally, taking the Second Sewage Treatment Plant in Xi'an as an example, the water price of the user - the western suburbs Power Plant of Xi'an is calculated using this model. The result is consistent with the actual situation, which can verify the accuracy and usefulness of this article pricing model. All of these have provided a theoretical basis for the development of the market price of recycled water.
