Urban water supply reliability: Preferences of managers, elected officials and water users in Boulder, Colorado
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6480589
The study compares the attitudes of the water using public, water officials and elected officials towards water supply reliability (as measured by the likelihood of shortages). It also takes a step towards measuring the benefits and costs of different reliability levels in terms of water users' willingness-to-pay for increases in reliability and in terms of their willingness-to-accept compensation (in the form of lower water bills for lower levels of reliability). Evidence in Boulder, including a high coincidence between the preferences of water officials and elected City Council members, shows that water officials pursue the public's interests and not narrower objectives of their own.
