Abstract

The objective of this article is to explain the decreasing trend of monthly consumption per user in Medellín during the period 1985•1991. To reach the goal it was necessary to search in economic theory for those methodological tools allowing an appropiate analysis of the problem posed. Consequently, references such as partial market equilibrium and the demand theory are taken as a starting point. This led to the conclusion that a decrease in house hold demand for water is due, on the one hand, to a water saving campaign carried out by "Empresas Públicas de Medellín" and on the marginal price, fixed charge, and implicit transfer while the users' income remained relatively steady.
