The village or government shall set up a cost recovery scheme for the sustainable operation, maintenance, administration and upgrade of the sanitation facility in the long term during project design phase. Normally in China, the government will provide financial supports to out-sourced O&M services in underdeveloped regions. In developed regions, the wastewater treatment fee is incorporated into the water tariff and can cover up to half of the total O&M cost. Furthermore, in some regions, the government packs the water supply and wastewater treatment services together, or packs the wastewater treatment service in urban area and rural area together to attract social capital and encourage service providers taking responsibility of sustainable O&M.
The World Health Organization (2000) has identified seven key principals of sustainable cost recovery that should be considered and include:
- Identifying the cost implications of the project’s characteristics and the environment;
- Maximizing the willingness to pay;
- Clarifying financial responsibilities;
- Optimizing operation and maintenance costs;
- Setting an appropriate and equitable tariff structure;
- Developing an effective financial management system; and
- Organizing access to alternative financial sources.
