In the message of the head of department of control in agro-industrial complex, the sphere of use of a subsoil and ecology of CREWE in AR Crimea it is a question of carrying out audits of financial and economic activity in the AR Crimea Republican committee on water economic construction both irrigated agriculture and 20 enterprises, establishments and the organizations subordinated to Goskomvodkhoz Ukrainy, about the revealed shortcomings and the accepted measures during audits.
Whether there will be the Crimea with water
Control and auditing management carried out audits of financial and economic activity to AR Crimea in the AR Crimea Republican committee on water economic construction and irrigated agriculture and in 20 enterprises, establishments and the organizations subordinated to the State committee of Ukraine on a water management during activity with 01.01.2007g. on 01.07.2008g.
It is established violations for the sum 7419,54 yew. UAH. It is half-received financial resources for total amount of 180,28 thousand UAH., illegally raskhodovano 293,87 thousand UAH., no-purpose use of means of the government budget made 99,58 thousand UAH., other violations – 6845,81 thousand UAH.
The measures taken during audits promoted elimination of violations for total amount of 6856,65 thousand UAH.
The audits carried out in the water economic enterprises revealed insufficient financing from the government budget of expenses on payment of cost of the electric power on pumping of water on the state intereconomic network to points vodovydela, and as a result – not settlement of cost of services in water supply for needs of the municipal enterprises. This problem demands the decision on a national level.
So, in response to an order of the Prime minister of Ukraine Yu.V.Tymoshenko from 16.07.08g. No. 36314/1/1-08 at level of Council of ministers of AR Crimea with heads of the ministries and departments, and also with the assistance of director general "Krymvodokanal", directors of water-sewer farms of the cities of Simferopol, Kerch and Feodosiya held meeting on questions of the conclusion of contracts on filling of reservoirs and for the purpose of the solution of a question of financing of expenses on filling with water of the Intermountain reservoir. At meeting the decision on preparation of the address to Cabinet council of Ukraine is made on allocation of target funds for payment of expenses for the electric power from the Government budget of Ukraine in the sum of 5,50 million UAH.
Also the question concerning the conclusion of contracts by the AR Crimea municipal enterprises was discussed with the water economic organizations, however the unequivocal decision on this question isn’t accepted, because the municipal enterprises aren’t agree to pay service in water supply in intereconomic networks which should be financed from the state budget.
However, to the water economic enterprises of the Crimea of means from the state budget for these purposes it is allocated not enough. Due to the lack of the mechanism of formation of accounting of cost of paid services on water supply to water-sewer farms, the last refuse to conclude contracts with managements of a water economic economy taking into account the actual expenses on water supply. So, for example, expenses of Salgirsky MUVH on supply of 1 m3 water on requirements of the Crimean regional enterprise of a water-sewer economy on 2007-2008r.r. on the average make 9,55 kopeks. However, the contract between the parties is signed at the rate of 0,01 kopeks for 1 cubic waters. The enterprise of a water-sewer economy isn’t agrees increase in cost of services.
Attempt of increase in cost of services for Salgirsky MUVH ended is pitiable. The Crimean regional enterprise of a water-sewer economy addressed in the AR Crimea Antimonopoly committee by which actions of Salgirsky MUVH are recognized to not answering contract provisions. As a result the state state-financed organization became the hostage of a situation when also the budget doesn’t allocate means in enough, and the consumer – the commercial enterprise, knowing that the legislative base in this case isn’t perfect, doesn’t pay deliberately these expenses.
As a result of current situation, Salgirsky MUVH for the inspected period half-received the income on water supply to the Crimean regional enterprise of a water-sewer economy for the sum more, than 2,20 million UAH.
It is necessary to note that the Crimean regional enterprise of a water-sewer economy in revizuemomperiode carried out supply of drinking water to Salgirsky MUVH on the following tariffs): from 01.01.07 to 01.03.08 – 6,64 UAH. for 1 m3; since 01.03.08 of a time the present – 5,17 UAH. for 1 g3.
Thus, tariffs of the municipal enterprise in 500-600 times exceed a quotation of the water economic enterprise. It is known that the commercial enterprise in quoted puts decent profitability which gives the chance to it to develop and receive excess profit. And to pay 10 kop behind 1 m3 submitted state water economic organization of water at it, unfortunately, possibility isn’t present.
The following problem which demands the urgent decision is as follows:
In the territory of the Crimea one of the most unique objects of a water management of Ukraine – the connecting channel which provides water supply of Simferopol and Sevastopol is located, and also submits water on an irrigation of 85,0 thousand gav six areas of the republic: Razdolnensky, Black Sea, Pervomaisk, Krasnogvardiysky and Simferopol. Balance cost suited together with the objects located on it makes 151,8 million UAH. Under operational requirements it the land lot in the area of 339,49 hectares is taken away. The surface of the water of the channel makes 144,6 hectares, the length suited – 41,3 km and includes 5 pumping-over pump stations design productivity 105 g3 in a second which lift water on height of 88 m.
Service is carried out by Management of the connecting channel (USK).
One of the most acute problems of USK, as well as all water economic organizations of the Crimea, calculations for the electric power consumed for water supply on the state intereconomic network to points vodovydela, where a financing source – the government budget are.
In recent years at the statement to Reskomvodkhoza of the estimate of expenses, expenses on payment of the electric power aren’t provided with financial sources. So, at budget formation for 2007 the budgetary allocations for these purposes are originally approved with deficiency in the sum of 11,2 million UAH. Besides, in 2007 there were extremely droughty weather conditions that entailed increase in frequency rate of waterings of crops, electricity tariffs repeatedly increased and the areas of irrigated cultures from 142,4 thousand reptile of 159,5 thousand hectares are increased. All above-stated factors affected increase in quantity of the used electric power and respectively expenses on its payment.
In the bill of Ukraine About modification of the Law of Ukraine About the Government budget of Ukraine for 2007 the increase to Goskomvodkhoza Ukrainy of budgetary appropriations on electric power payment, however in connection with dissolution of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in 2007g is provided. this project remained not realized.
As a result, the water economic organizations became hostages of a situation, and had no possibility to pay off with power supplying enterprises of JSC Krimenergo, before which as of 01.01.08g. the debt of more than 10,5 million UAH was formed.
The similar situation on payment for the electric power developed and in 2008. At settlement need for funds for electric power payment for the sum of 46,3 million UAH. in the estimate it is approved 25,6mln. UAH., from which 10,5mln. UAH. it is directed on accounts payable repayment for 2007.
Thus, expenses on the electric power of the AR Crimea water economic organizations in 2008g. are provided with a financing source only for 32 %. Besides, monthly distribution of limits also doesn’t allow the water economic organizations to pay off with suppliers of the electric power in due time. As a result, already as of 01.07.08g. on balance of the AR Crimea water economic organizations the accounts payable for the electric power for the sum more than 3,6 million UAH is registered.
It is necessary to note that untimely implementation of calculations for the electric power created one more serious problem which is that JSC Krimenergo submitted to Economic court of AR Crimea recovery suits from the budgetary water economic organizations of penalties for untimely payment of the electric power for total amount of 898,50 thousand UAH. Considering that the water economic organizations are budgetary and non-profitable, sources for a covering of these expenses are absent, as such expenses aren’t provided by estimates of the income and expenses.
Reskomvodkhoz AR Crimea repeatedly addressed through the Verkhovna Rada of AR Crimea and AR Crimea Council of ministers to the Minister of Fuel and Energy of Ukraine with a request not to apply penalties. However so far the question isn’t solved, claims of JSC Krimenergo aren’t withdrawn from court.
Here also there is a question: Where to the budgetary water economic organizations to take money to pay for water supply on the state intereconomic network?
