INFLUENCE OF WATER INFRASTRUCTURE OPERATION MODELS ON WATER PRICE
Abstract
The research described in the article deals with the management of the water supply and sewerage system operation in the Czech Republic. It also examines the impact on the water price in individual cities. Firstly, the historical development of water management infrastructure was briefly outlined and models of water supply and sewerage systems management in various periods of the development of the Czech Republic were introduced. Individual models of water supply and sewerage system operation were described, namely the self-operated model, the ownership operated model, the mixed operated model and the separately operated model. The emergence of these models has been enabled by the Public Water Supply and Sewerage Act since 2001. Currently, several major private foreign companies operate in the area of water supply on the Czech Republic area. This situation contributes to the fact that the state, cities and municipalities have partially lost the opportunity to intervene in the operation and thus the final price of both drinking and waste water for the end consumer. The article includes an overview of the drinking water and waste water prices in individual years. These prices are demonstrated on selected cities across the Czech Republic area. These prices also include redistribution into the selected operation models. Publicly available data by the Czech Statistical Office, data provided by water network operators and the relevant laws and regulations in force in the Czech Republic were used for the purpose of the research. Models of operation that influence both the price of water and the method of maintenance, repair and modernization of the water infrastructure network were examined in the selected cities of the Czech Republic.
