| Tiivistelmä: | This article based on a referendum-format contingent valuation (CV) survey is uses to elicit household willingness to pay responses for safe and reliable drinking water in Parral, Mexico. It is investigates that households currently adopt a variety of averting and private investment choices to adapt to the existing water supply system. The author argues the latent demand for safer and more reliable water services, which is corroborated by the CV survey evidence as well as validity findings include significant scope sensitivity in WTP for water services. It is found that households are willing to pay from 1.8% to 7.55% of reported household income above their current water bill for safe and reliable drinking water services, depending upon the assumptions about response uncertainty. |
