Chapter VI
WATER DRAINAGE CHARGES
Article 48.- Subjects liable to collection of water drainage charges
1. All water drainage households discharging waste water into water drainage systems are obliged to pay water drainage charges under the provisions of this Decree.
2. All water drainage households discharging waste water directly into the environment are obliged to pay environmental protection charges for wastewater under the Government’s Decree No. 67/2003/ND-CP of June 13, 2003, on environmental protection charges for wastewater, and Decree No. 04/2007/ND-CP of January 8, 2007, amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 67/2003/ND-CP.
Article 49.- Principles for determination of water drainage charges
1. Schemes on water drainage charges are determined on the principle of future recovery of expenses to maintain services on drainage of water, including rain water and waste water.
2. Water drainage charges are decided in accordance with the socio-economic development in each period; with investment levels to raise service quality, with roadmaps for gradual increase and the objective of full recovery of management and operation costs and partial contribution to investment in the construction of water drainage works.
3. Local budgets must offset to fully cover expenses for management and operation and maintenance of water drainage services in localities if the collected water drainage charges are lower than actual expenses.
Article 50.- Methods of determining water drainage charge rates
1. For daily-life wastewater, water drainage charge rates are calculated according to waste water volumes.
2. For other types of wastewater, water drainage charge rates are calculated according to wastewater volumes and pollutant content in wastewater.
Article 51.- Determination of charged wastewater volumes
1. For daily-life wastewater:
a/ In case of using clean water from a concentrated water supply system, the charged wastewater volumes are equal to 100% of the consumed clean water volumes stated in the water supply bills;
b/ In case of not using clean water from a concentrated water supply system, the charged wastewater volumes are calculated at the level of 4m3/person/month.
2. For other types of wastewater:
a/ In case of using clean water from a concentrated water supply system, the charged wastewater volumes are calculated as equal to 80% of the consumed clean water volumes stated in water supply bills. Water drainage units or water drainage households may install meters to accurately determine the wastewater volumes discharged into the water drainage system;
b/ In case of not using clean water from a concentrated water supply system, the charged wastewater volumes are determined through meters. Water drainage households shall invest in the installation of meters and other auxiliary protection support equipment.
Article 52.- Determination of contents of charged pollutants
1. The contents of charged pollutants for other types of wastewater (other than daily-life wastewater) are determined according to the COD norm (mg/l).
2. The COD content is determined according the analysis results of standard laboratories prescribed at Point b, Clause 2, Article 42 of this Decree.
Article 53.- Determination of water drainage charge levels
The water drainage charge levels for water drainage households are determined according to the following formula:
F = f x V x K
Of which:
f is the water drainage charge determined in percentage and is not lower than the clean water prices applicable to different water-using subjects.
V is the charged wastewater volume determined under the provisions of Article 51 of this Decree.
K is the adjustment coefficient depending on the pollutant content determined under the provisions of Article 52 of this Decree; for daily-life wastewater, coefficient K - 1
Coefficient K is determined as follows:

Article 54.- Grounds for formulation of water drainage charge schemes
1. Water drainage charge-determining principles and methods.
2. Socio-economic development conditions of each region and people’s income in each period.
3. Management and operation costs and reasonable profits of water drainage units.
Article 55.- Responsibility to formulate, competence to appraise and decide on water drainage charges
1. Water drainage work owners shall direct water drainage units to organize the formulation and submission of water drainage charge schemes.
2. Construction Services of provinces and Transport and Public Works Services of centrally run cities shall assume the prime responsibility for, and coordinate with provincial/municipal Finance Services in, appraising water drainage charge schemes.
3. Provincial-level People’s Committees shall decide on water drainage charges for each urban center in areas under their respective management after submitting them to People’s Councils of the same level.
4. Water drainage charges in industrial parks shall be decided by investors dealing in and developing industrial park infrastructures and agreed upon by owners of works in industrial parks.
Article 56.- Adjustment of water drainage charges
1. Water drainage charges are adjusted in the following cases:
a/ When investment is made in substantial changes in waste water treatment technologies and service quality;
b/ There appears changes in state mechanisms and policies;
c/ The conditions on national and regional socio-economic development and people’s income have changed.
2. The process, procedures and competence for adjustment of water drainage charges comply with the provisions of Article 55 of this Decree.
Article 57.- Modes of water drainage charge collection and payment
1. Organizations and individuals providing water drainage services shall organize the collection of water drainage charges through water supply bills for water drainage households using clean water from concentrated water supply systems, and enjoy charge collection service expenses.
2. Monthly, water drainage units must supply information on the quality of wastewater (other than daily-life wastewater) of water drainage households, which serves as a basis for determining water drainage charges, to water supply service-providing organizations and individuals in the areas. The time for supply of information is agreed upon by the two parties.
3. Water drainage units shall directly collect water drainage charges from water drainage households not using clean water from concentrated water supply systems.
Article 58.- Management and use of water drainage charges
Collected water drainage charges shall be managed and used for the following purposes by water drainage work owners:
1. Payment for management and operation contacts.
2. Payment for water drainage charge collection services.
3. Investment ill water drainage maintenance and development
