The economics of municipal water supply : applying the user-pay principle / by Steve H. Hanke and M. Fortin. : En36-519/21E-PDF

"This report consists of two papers on the user-pay principle which requires that users pay the full economic costs of the goods and services that they consume. Equity, efficiency and conservation would be promoted by the application of this principle to municipal water use. The first paper reviews municipal water rates and rate-setting practices in Canada. Since this sector is almost entirely public in ownership, the extent to which user-pay principles prevail will be a matter of government policy and institutional practice. The second paper reviews economic concepts and tools and applies them to urban water supply problems in other countries."--Abstract.
