Times-Hangzhou pipeline gas account opening fee has been collected for 26 years, and it is decided not to collect it. On May 9th this year, the Provincial Price Bureau issued the Notice on Further Regulating the Buried Reconstruction Charge of Pipeline Gas Facilities (Zhejiang Price Information No.2006/2007). 20 12 128), which stipulates that from July this year 1 day, the current charging policy of pipeline gas account opening fee and initial installation fee will be stopped, and the pre-embedding fee of pipeline gas facilities, renovation fee of pipeline gas facilities and installation fee of off-balance sheet gas facilities will be charged instead. Yesterday, Hangzhou Municipal Price Bureau, Hangzhou Urban Construction Investment Group and Hangzhou Gas Group jointly announced the adjustment of pipeline natural gas charging policy. Fees include embedded fees, decoration fees and installation service fees. Previously, Hangzhou resident users had to pay an account opening fee of 1.700 yuan to apply for opening pipeline gas. What changes will happen to residents after the implementation of the new policy? Director Xu Bin of Service Price Management Office of Hangzhou Price Bureau introduced that according to the third issue of Zhejiang Price Information. 20 12 128, Hangzhou Municipal Price Bureau issued the Notice on Regulating Buried Renovation Fees of Pipeline Gas Facilities in Residential Areas of Our City (Hangzhou Price Service No .20 12 143), which clarified the standards of buried renovation fees of urban pipeline gas facilities and installation service fees of off-balance-sheet gas facilities. These three kinds of fees are simply the embedding fees charged by pipeline gas enterprises to developers of new residential projects; The latter two fees are charged by gas enterprises to gas users. For new residential developers, the pre-embedding fee has been adjusted: the previous pre-embedding fee is 14 yuan/square meter; After adjustment, the construction area per square meter is 2 1 yuan. Xiaoshan District, Yuhang District and five counties (cities) of the pipeline gas facilities embedded fees and renovation fee standards, proposed by the local government, reported to the Hangzhou Municipal Price Bureau for further approval. For resident users, the account opening fee for each household 1. 700 yuan will be stopped from July1. Secondly, there are different charging policies for new users. This is mainly divided into two types: one is unventilated residential users; The other is other residential users. Non-ventilated residential users who apply for opening pipeline gas need to pay the renovation fee of pipeline gas facilities 1 000 yuan, and the installation service fee of connecting pipeline (including metal bayonet) between indoor gas cookers and meters in 250 yuan; If you still use the gas water heater, you have to pay the gas water heater pipe installation service fee, 200 yuan. Other houses apply for opening pipeline gas, as long as they pay the installation service fee for the connecting pipeline (including metal bayonet) between the gas cooker and the electric meter, 250 yuan; If you use a gas water heater, you will pay the service fee for pipe installation of the gas water heater, 200 yuan. For urban disabled families, urban low-income families and needy families who hold the Hangzhou Family Assistance Certificate within the validity period, the pipeline gas renovation fee will be halved. Of course, there are also installation service fees and other fees for the facilities behind the platform (metal hose or rubber hose connecting the valve in front of the furnace and the valve in the furnace, etc.). ) are privately owned by residents, so government pricing is not implemented, and gas companies charge users at cost. In addition, some unconventional gas facilities such as geothermal boilers need to be installed, and fees are charged according to the investment cost of unconventional gas use. The charging standard is announced on the portal website and business outlets of the Municipal Gas Group. After the implementation of the new charging standard, users who apply for opening pipeline gas and using gas stoves and gas water heaters at the same time will have to pay at most 1450 yuan; At least pay 450 yuan. Who are the "unventilated residential users" who have to pay more 1000 yuan for the renovation of pipeline gas facilities? Yu Jianguo, general manager of Hangzhou Gas Group, said that these users refer to houses that have not implemented gas facilities and have not paid pre-embedded fees during construction. Specifically, some old residential areas built before Hang Cheng 1993 did not embed gas pipelines in advance before they were put into use, such as Harmony Residential Area and Zhao Hui Residential Area. The renovation cost of pipeline gas facilities is 65,438+0,000 yuan, which is mainly used for the survey, design, equipment, materials, construction and installation of gas meters and pipeline gas facilities in front of meters. However, most users in newly-built residential areas in Hangzhou do not have to pay 1 1,000 yuan for the renovation of pipeline gas facilities because they have embedded gas pipelines before and the developers have also paid the gas embedding fee. What should I do if I just paid the account opening fee before July/kloc-0? Hangzhou Gas Group expects that as the account opening fee will be stopped from next month, users who have paid the account opening fee but have not installed it, or who have installed it but have not ignited it, can apply for returning their accounts. To handle the account cancellation procedures, as long as you hold the original ID card of the original account holder, the original account opening acceptance form and the original account opening invoice, and pay the expenses required for account cancellation, you can handle the account cancellation procedures. Yu Jianguo, general manager, said that before, Hangzhou Gas Group accepted very few applications for returning households. From 2006, Hangzhou opened pipeline gas to 20 1 1, and only 1 15 households. Due to the suspension of the account opening fee for 1.700 yuan, there may be a large number of centralized applications for cash withdrawal. Moreover, these users will re-apply for opening an account after returning their accounts. Therefore, the next stage will usher in the peak of the application for opening and installation of pipeline gas in Hangzhou. Seven business halls should be served for one week at the peak of account opening, and seven business outlets of Hangzhou Gas will accept the application for returning the account and extend the service hours. These seven outlets are: Tianmushan Road Business Hall, Zhao Hui Business Hall, Dongyuan Business Hall, Genshan Road Business Hall, Cai He Business Hall, Jiulian Business Hall and Jianghong Business Hall. Service hours are from 7: 30 to 17: 30 from Monday to Sunday. Special users such as widowed elderly people can also entrust the community to make centralized appointments, and Hangzhou Gas Group will provide on-site service. Hangzhou Gas Group's 24-hour service hotline 057 1-88828788. General Manager Yu Jianguo said that since the peak of application for installation will come after July 1, users who need to check out or reapply need not concentrate on the peak of acceptance after July 1, because there is no time limit for checking out. After the implementation of the new charging policy, the demolition, renovation and maintenance of pipeline gas facilities caused by changes in house property rights and house decoration can only be paid by the applicant's ID card and the original valid property right certificate. ● Extension of decoration fee 1 0,000 yuan involves users. It is still difficult to count in Hangzhou. In fact, there are still many users of bottled LPG. This part of users did not use pipeline gas, some were in unventilated old residential areas, and the other part was ventilated in residential areas, but they did not apply for opening. If they didn't pay the pre-embedding fee in the early residential construction, they may need to pay a decoration fee of 1 1,000 yuan when applying for opening the pipeline gas. How many residential users are there? Previously, when the special inspection office of Hangzhou Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision conducted an annual inspection of Hangzhou gas cylinders, the figure obtained was that there were still 750,000 gas cylinders in use in Hangzhou. Hangzhou Baijiang Liquefied Gas Co., Ltd. is the largest liquefied gas company in Hangzhou, with about 200,000 users. But these two figures include not only residents, but also suburban and small catering users. Therefore, it is difficult to count the number of unventilated residential users. In the 1980s, Hangzhou began to charge account opening fees. At present, the account opening fee for residents of pipeline gas in Hangzhou is 1.700 yuan, which is subject to Hangjia Gongnong [2000] No.048, and the account opening fee is 1.700 yuan, and the fee for disabled residents and needy families is halved, that is, 850 yuan/household. According to the relevant person in charge of the Resource, Environment and Price Management Office of Hangzhou Price Bureau, Hangzhou residents began to collect the account opening fee for pipeline gas in the 1980s. As early as 1986, 500 yuan's "generation fee" was charged to every household. After adjustment, it rose to 1 100 yuan, 1200 yuan, 2,000 yuan, and 1996 reached 3,000 yuan. It has been decreasing since 2000. According to the data of Hangzhou Gas Group, as of 20 1 11,there are more than 570,000 residential users of pipeline gas in Hangzhou.
