2、ndate issued by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council,a crucial step in deepening reforms to“streamline administration and delegate power,improve regulation,and upgrade services”and thus stimulate market vitality and enhance intrinsic driving force for development.In Shanghais pursuit of a
3、 world-class business environment,the provision of smart,resilient,and stable water supply services,coupled with rigorous and comprehensive water supply supervision,is a cornerstone.These elements play a vital role in propelling economic and social development.Shanghai,positioned at the Yangtze Rive
4、rs estuary and downstream of the Taihu Lake basin,is a city that has flourished due to its proximity to water.Since the 1990s,through around three decades of strategic planning and development,Shanghai has established four key water sources:the Chenhang,Qingcaosha,Dongfeng Xisha along the Yangtze Ri
5、ver,and the Jinze Reservoir upstream of the Huangpu River.This has led to the establishment of a coordinated water management system that leverages“dual river sources,centralized water intake,reservoir-based water supply,and centralized network dispatching.”In 2002,Shanghais 209 water plants relied
6、primarily on inland rivers or deep wells,with most being small facilities equipped with only basic treatment processes.These were insufficient to meet the citys demands for high-quality development and stringent safety standards.In response,the Shanghai Water Authority established strategic objectiv
7、es for“integrated urban-rural development,networked distribution,and intensive water supply management”to guide district governments in consolidating water supply efforts.By the end of 2017,more than 100 small town-level water plants in the suburbs had been decommissioned,leading to the formation of
8、 an integrated urban-rural water supply system.This system features coordinated sourcing of raw water,consolidation of water treatment plants,centralized network dispatch,scaled operations,and uniform services.Water intakes have been streamlined to four major sources:Qingcaosha,Chenhang,Jinze,and Do
9、ngfeng Xisha in Chongming District.Today,Shanghais 40 water plants boast a combined water supply capacity of 12,485,000 cubic meters per day,ranking it as the city with the largest water supply scale and the largest user base in China.Since 2018,Shanghai Water Authority has been systematically imple
10、menting reforms to streamline water supply access in response to new circumstances and demands.It has directed water supply companies to elevate their service levels by mainly improving convenience,efficiency,and transparency.This has led to a significant reduction in the water supply connection pro
11、cess,from“31 workdays for 5 stages”to“6 natural days for a single stage,”achieving a seamless experience with zero burden for users.Efforts have been made to optimize the process across three key dimensions:time,steps,and cost.These reform initiatives have benefited a wide range of users,including e
12、nterprises and residents.The World Banks evaluation team has highly praised and recognized these efforts.It is time to ride the wave and forge ahead.Following the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,Shanghai Water Authority is dedicated to providing
13、 world-class business environment and first-rate water supply services.As provided by laws and regulations,Shanghai Water Authority actively explores optimal new water supply models,and strengthens digital empowerment to ensure reliable supply,demonstrating a soaring spirit and firm determination to
14、 create a new international benchmark for water supply services and form the“Shanghai Experience”in this domain!32023 White Paper on Water Supply Access in Shanghai水務2024上海市供水營商環境白皮書-eng.indd 3水務2024上海市供水營商環境白皮書-eng.indd 32024/6/20 14:202024/6/20 14:20Milestones in Optimizing Water Supply Access Ser
15、vicesIn order to improve the business environment,Shanghai Water Authority launched a water supply access reform initiative(Version 1.0)to streamline the process for corporate users accessing water supply services by establishing clear timelines:for water supply connections without external pipeline
16、 engineering work,it shall involve 5 steps to be completed within 31 working days;for those requiring external pipeline engineering and road excavation,it entails 6 steps to be completed within 50 working days.Building on the practical experience of the reform initiative Version 1.0 and a thorough i
17、nterpretation of the World Banks“Doing Business”assessment policies,Shanghai Water Authority launched the“Water Supply Access 5.20”policy.This policy streamlined the process further as follows:for water supply connections without external pipeline engineering work,the process can be completed within
18、 5 working days,consisting of two steps:1)Water supply access application and plan response:3 working days;2)Pipeline engineering and water supply connection:2 working days;For water supply connection that requires external pipeline engineering and road excavation,the process can be completed within
19、 20 working days,consisting of three steps:1)water supply access application and plan response:5 working days;2)administrative approval from the road administration,traffic police,and greenery management departments for road occupation and excavation:10 working days;3)pipeline construction and water
20、 supply connection:5 working days.2020Leveraging the Shanghai Construction Project Joint Review and Sharing Platform,Shanghai Water Authority further reduced the time required for water supply connections and simplified the work process.They launched the“Water Supply Access 4.9 Policy:for water supp

256、ment has introduced an integrated service for the concurrent application and installation of water,electricity,and gas pipelines and networks for construction projects involving new builds,renovations,or expansions with a total investment exceeding one million yuan.This streamlined service facilitat
257、es a unified application process,centralized intake,collaborative site assessments,comprehensive service delivery,and centralized consultation.The joint application and implementation mechanism allows for concurrent on-site inspections by water,electricity,and gas services,creating a seamless end-to
258、-end workflow from the initial application to the final connection of utilities to make sure that“utilities are all available before commencement of construction”.2.Joint implementation of water,electricity,gas pipeline and network projectsThe“concurrent application and installation of water,electri
259、city,and gas pipeline and network”service is characterized by its“Four Ones”approach,which aims to optimize efficiency:0102030405Case:Concurrent application and installation of water,electricity,and gas pipeline and network services making sure that utilities are readily accessibleA Shanghai-based r
260、eal estate development project secured a construction permit on New Years Eve,with concurrent pre-arranged access to water and electricity services.This strategic coordination allowed the project to access public utilities immediately.As a result,the construction project was completed two to three m
261、onths ahead of the initial schedule.Previously:Enterprises can only request temporary water and electricity connections after securing the construction permit.The process was often time-consuming,taking two to three months to complete due to the involvement of multiple regulatory bodies,stringent ma
262、terial requirements,and complex procedures.Under the“concurrent application and installation of water,electricity,gas pipeline and network”initiative,review and approval departments now offer proactive cross-departmental services.They streamline,coordinate,and optimize the approval processes,conduct
263、ing joint site surveys and on-site discussions to address project routing and difficulties encountered during the connection phase.As a result,users can now obtain both the construction permit and nearly simultaneous water and electricity connections at the construction projects approval and review
264、center.One application form:Enterprises only need to access the project review and approval module of the Government Online-Offline Shanghai portal,where they can complete a single form and submit their application online.The entire procedure is conducted electronically,ensuring a paperless process.
265、One window for acceptance:Enterprises need to correspond with only one regulatory body,the Social Investment Projects Approval and Review Center,for both online and offline processes.Joint site survey:For projects where simultaneous on-site survey is possible,the Approval and Review Center will orga
266、nize joint on-site inspection with the participation of all relevant service units.One-stop service:A unified coordination and service mechanism for joint applications has been established.The Approval and Review Center is responsible for the centralized coordination and provision of integrated serv
267、ices for the processing and implementation of joint applications.One window for consultation:An offline window is opened for providing standardized and unified consultation services.It operates under the municipal and district approval and review centers,offering enterprises on-site comprehensive co
268、nsultation services.This integrated approach significantly reduces time and equipment costs for enterprises,transitioning from multiple trips and repeated visits to accelerated progress.It aids in the early commencement and implementation of the real estate project.Enterprise feedback In the subsequ
269、ent visit,the agent of real estate developer said:“In the past,the process of securing access to utilities such as water,electricity,gas,and communication networks involved visiting multiple service windows.We met significant challenges due to the complexity of procedures,the multitude of documentat
270、ion,and the extensive duration,making the process highly inconvenient.The introduction of the joint application and installation services has streamlined this process;now,applications and documentation can be completed online.Furthermore,for any inquiries,a visit to the government service hall will
271、suffice,where dedicated staff are available for consultation and processing,offering one-stop services to enterprises.”262023 White Paper on Water Supply Access in Shanghai水務2024上海市供水營商環境白皮書-eng.indd 26水務2024上海市供水營商環境白皮書-eng.indd 262024/6/20 14:202024/6/20 14:20II.Fully Implementing the Policy of Fr

286、ReliabilityShanghai Water Authority,water authorities at the district level and water supply companies in Shanghai are committed to a moderately proactive approach in advancing infrastructure development and the renewal of aging facilities.Adhering to the principles of“inspecting for potential risks
287、,promoting corrective actions,ensuring safety,and establishing long-term mechanisms,”they conduct comprehensive safety inspections and rectification efforts for water supply networks.Furthermore,aligning with the objective of“one-step implementation for non-residential applications and phased implem
288、entation for residential applications,”they are progressively rolling out the installation of smart water meters across Shanghai.These initiatives are designed to bolster the resilience and safety of the citys water supply system.1.Undertaking the renovation of aging water supply networks to enhance
289、 reliabilityIn a sustained effort to improve water supply services and ensure their reliability,the water supply sector in Shanghai has,in recent years,undertaken significant initiatives to update and renovate outdated and aging water supply networks.Currently,the primary in-pipe inspection technolo
290、gies utilized for water supply pipelines in Shanghai encompass Sahara Inline Tethered Inspection and p-CAT inspection methodologies.These advanced technologies facilitate the identification of leak locations and the estimation of leakage volumes,as well as the positioning and measurement of pipeline
291、 internal bladders,all without necessitating a disruption in water supply.Utilizing the data procured,three-dimensional pipeline schematics can be rendered,and temperature and pressure within the pipelines can be monitored.Additionally,video documentation is supplied,allowing staff to ascertain cruc
292、ial details such as the status of valves and branch pipes,the quality of liners,the presence of sediment deposits and localized blockages.Furthermore,these technologies enable the assessment of corrosion in metal pipelines.01Harnessing the power of technological innovation to transform and optimize
293、water supply networksThe deployment of innovative technologies enables water supply companies to promptly assess and analyze the operational status of their networks,facilitating the ongoing enhancement of sophisticated operational and management practices for water supply networks and elevates the
294、efficiency of the rehabilitation of aging pipeline infrastructure.282023 White Paper on Water Supply Access in Shanghai水務2024上海市供水營商環境白皮書-eng.indd 28水務2024上海市供水營商環境白皮書-eng.indd 282024/6/20 14:202024/6/20 14:20Pipeline information systems aiding in the implementation of aging pipelines renovation02Sh
295、anghai Water Authority places a high priority on the development of pipeline information systems and encourages water supply companies to create a unified“one map”of the water supply network,streamlining the process of pipeline inspections.Utilizing this“one map”as a foundation,key points within the
296、 network are selected for the strategic placement of flow meters and pressure monitoring stations,which form the basis of a leakage management and control platform.This platform enables the real-time collection of data,allowing for the precise identification of areas within the network that are expe
297、riencing leakage.Employing a dual approach of routine patrols and remote monitoring,the dynamics of the water supply network are effectively managed.This management serves as the basis for the formulation of renovation plans for aging pipelines.In line with these plans,preliminary surveys are conduc
298、ted on pipelines that exhibit advanced age,significant leakage,and unstable water pressure.During routine inspections,there is a vigilant monitoring of the operational status of the water supply network.Through surveys,feedback collection,and reporting,issues such as pipeline aging,blockages,and a d
299、ecline in water quality are detected and reported.In 2023,a total of 403 kilometers of aging water supply pipelines were renovated across Shanghai,90 kilometers of which were large-diameter pipelines.2.Promoting smart meters to improve water supply safetyTo enhance the safety of the water supply in
300、Shanghai,Shanghai Water Authority and district-level water authorities are actively advancing the installation of smart water meters.As a digital metering device,smart water meters can realize remote data transmission and provide users with a better water service experience through the expanded appl
301、ication of data.Moreover,these meters enable real-time monitoring of water consumption patterns and the detection of leaks and other losses.Case:A smart water meter sounding a leakage alertOn March 15,a smart water meter at a residential property on Baoju Road recorded a minimum hourly flow rate of
302、0.05m.The system determined that this was indicative of a water leak after the water meter and consequently issued a post-meter leak alert,dispatching a service request to the water supply company.Upon receiving the alert,staff from the water supply company conducted an on-site verification on March
303、 16 and confirmed an internal leak behind the meter.They posted a friendly notice advising the user to conduct a self-inspection and arrange for repairs.Throughout the process,the water supply company maintained timely communication with the user.Subsequent follow-up actions indicated that the user
304、had successfully completed the repair of the internal leak by April 17.This proactive approach effectively prevented the waste of water resources and safeguarded the safety of water usage.292023 White Paper on Water Supply Access in Shanghai水務2024上海市供水營商環境白皮書-eng.indd 29水務2024上海市供水營商環境白皮書-eng.indd 2
