Wuhan Qingchuan college students reported that on September 5, they found that the dormitory had changed the hot water meter. The teacher informed that the hot water price was 70 yuan per ton, and it had cost 7 yuan to take a bath for 10 minutes. Some students said that they changed the hot water meter because some students bought cards online and swiped hot water.
The relevant person in charge of the office of Wuhan Qingchuan University responded to the reporter on September 7 that the hot water of the school is heated by a unified boiler, and each dormitory has a hot water terminal. Students need to swipe their card for consumption when using it, and the hot water is provided and charged by the supplier. This summer vacation, the supplier has comprehensively upgraded the hot water pipeline and water meter. In view of the high price demands reflected by students, it has negotiated with the supplier, and the other party has agreed to adjust the hot water price to 55 yuan / ton. At present, the price is at the medium level in Hubei universities.
The notice on further standardizing the management of educational charges in Colleges and universities issued by the Hubei Provincial Department of education, the Provincial Department of Finance and the provincial Price Bureau stipulates that the items and standards of charges charged by colleges and universities shall be reported to the provincial Price Bureau, the Department of Finance and the Department of Education for approval (filing) before the implementation of charges.
The reporter inquired from the official website of the financial department of Wuhan Qingchuan university that the charging standard and charging basis of more than 180 items were publicized in the charging record of 2019 academic year released on July 9, but the charging item "dormitory hot water" listed as "agent charging" did not show the charging basis, and the charging standard was 70 yuan / ton.
The above person in charge said that the hot water charge supplied by the school is different from the tap water supply sourced from the government and uniformly priced, but is supplied by hot water suppliers and subject to commercial pricing. The price is mainly composed of facilities and equipment, maintenance, management, manpower, electricity, water and other costs.
For the students' reflection of the turbidity of hot water quality, the person in charge said that the water quality is yellow because the hot water supply system has not been used for a long time in summer and can return to normal after operation. The school will supervise the suppliers to clean the boiler pipes regularly to ensure the water quality.
