II. PUBLIC SUBMISSION AND
SUPERVISION PROCEDURES
Public means a collective of residents living in
the same area and sharing the same interests in or benefits of public utilities
available within that area, including water supply service. As
clean water is an product essential for human life and public health, in
addition to raising awareness of economical use of water, payment obligations
and protection of water supply facilities, etc., public involvement in water
supply activities may guarantee the people's mastery over inspection and
supervision of water supply activities, contributing to improving the
feasibility of water supply development programs and projects, and promoting
investment efficiency and sustainable development.
1. Public submission procedures:
When developing investment projects on the
construction of new water supply works in areas where there is no centralized
water supply system, investors and project formulation consulting organizations
shall have to cooperate with local authorities in conducting sociological
investigations and public polls within the scope of these projects’ service
regarding connection commitments and willingness to pay for water supply
services. Prior to a public poll, the survey community must be informed of
basic project information about investment outlay and service quality after
completion, water pricing plans, land use demands and execution progress.
As for investment projects on construction of
water supply works on the commune or townlet scale, the public poll should be
carried out at family households. For larger-scale projects, investors shall
opt for a survey form, such as a household poll, a concentrated open poll
carried out at residential quarters and mass organizations, and an open poll
conducted at a number of typical areas.
A water supply service contract must provide
detailed information on the contact address of the department and the person
responsible for receiving feedbacks, complaints and denunciations from
consumers about functional failure, service quality, sabotage or misconduct
relating to water supply activities within their remit. Annual reports sent by
water supply units to competent authorities that have already entered into
agreements on rendering of water supply services should provide information on
the receipt and handling of feedbacks from consumers.
The community may involve in the public poll by:
- Completing the survey form.

- Using other forms of giving opinions such as
letters and contributing opinions in person, etc.
2. Public supervision:
After being approved by competent authorities,
water supply planning schemes shall be made known to the public in accordance
with the law provisions on construction planning.
After signing an agreement on rendering of water
supply services, the People’s Committee shall advise the People’s Council of
the same level and socio-political organizations, and carry out communications
and awareness-raising programs to involve the public in executing, inspecting
and supervising execution of such agreement.
Public supervision tasks shall include:
- Supervising conformity with the planning
scheme which has already been approved and the agreement on rendering of water
supply services which has already been entered into.
- Supervising the process of execution of water
supply projects.
- Supervising the quality of clean water supply
services by assessing the following factors, such as clean water quality, water
