The "Regulations on the Management of Rural Wastewater Treatment Facilities in Zhejiang Province" officially implemented on January, 2020, which has made clear provisions on the institutional management of rural wastewater treatment in Zhejiang Province:

The departments of wastewater treatment facilities determined by the people's governments of cities and counties are responsible for the supervision and management of the planning, construction, transformation, operation and maintenance of wastewater treatment facilities within their respective administrative regions.

Municipal-level institution management and assessment key points

The institutional arrangements of the cities in Zhejiang Province are in the same way as the provincial-level institutional arrangements. Taking Ningbo City as an example, a responsibility system for rural domestic wastewater has been initially formed:

The Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development takes the lead in assuming responsibility for the operation, maintenance and management of rural domestic wastewater treatment facilities, and strengthens general work guidance;
The municipal environmental protection department implements the work responsibilities of water quality monitoring;
The municipal urban management department shall perform specific management responsibilities of rural domestic wastewater treatment within its jurisdiction, and urge the county (city) and district governments to decompose and implement the responsibilities for the operation, maintenance and management of rural domestic wastewater treatment facilities, and establish the work pattern system of linkage and cooperation between upper and lower levels.

The "2020 Assessment Measures for Rural Domestic Wastewater Treatment in Ningbo" clearly stipulates that the Municipal Housing and Urban-rural Construction Bureau will lead the establishment of an assessment team to conduct annual public assessments of rural domestic wastewater treatment in various districts and counties of Ningbo, according to daily work advancement and on-site assessment at the end of the year. It is carried out in a balanced manner, divided into daily assessment and on-site assessment.

Daily assessment：The daily work is assessed according to the assessment content and standard. The relevant information should be reported to the provincial and municipal rural wastewater treatment facility operation and maintenance supervision service platform in a timely manner. The assessment team conducts assessment and scoring through the supervision platform.

On-site assessment: The assessment team will go to the site for assessment and scoring.

Assessment content: Divided into work measures, work effectiveness, deduction content and extra points content. All content of the assessment should have proof materials. Work measures include whether to include the target responsibility system assessment, supervision and inspection mechanism construction, departmental coordination mechanism, supervision platform maintenance, standardized operation and maintenance plan, annual new construction and renovation plan, capital management system, etc.; work effectiveness includes supervision, inspections, coordination, the completion of operation and maintenance tasks, funding arrangements, water quality testing, etc.

Assessment results: the district/county (city) assessment is divided into three grades: excellent, qualified and unqualified. The assessment results serve as the basis for scoring annual work such as "Five Waters Co-governance", "Beautiful Ningbo" and "Urban and Rural Competition for Excellence". The Municipal Finance Bureau will allocate awards to supplement special funds based on the assessment results.
