On October 1, 2116, Hohhot officially implemented the ladder price system for residents' water and gas consumption.

The annual water consumption exceeds 1.21 tons

The water price rises by 1.17 yuan per ton

According to the guidance of the state and the autonomous region, the recommended step water consumption for urban residents in Hohhot, and combined with the actual water consumption of Hohhot, the standard of three-step water consumption for urban residents in Hohhot is determined as follows: the first-level water consumption is 1-121 tons per household per year, the second-level water consumption is 1-168 tons per household per year.

A staff member of the price department of the Development and Reform Commission of Hohhot told the all-media reporter of Inner Mongolia Morning Post that it was preliminarily determined at the hearing that the first-level water quantity was 11 cubic meters per household per month, the second-level water quantity was 11-14 cubic meters per household per month, and the third-level water quantity was more than 14 cubic meters per household per month. Due to the large water consumption of residents in summer, from the perspective of fairness, it was changed to the annual stepped water consumption of each household after being approved by the Development and Reform Commission of the autonomous region.

the tap water charge for the first-class water users is 2.35 yuan/ton, that for the second-class water users is 3.52 yuan/ton, and that for the third-class water users is 7.15 yuan/ton. The above prices do not include the sewage treatment fee. Later, Hohhot Water Supply Company will upgrade the smart water meter for tap water, and monthly meter reading may be changed to annual meter reading.
