Water - at any price

Abstract

The cost of urban water services and how they should be charged to urban consumers is a particularly sensitive issue - and it's an issue that the current review of local authority rating and funding (the rates inquiry) will almost certainly be grappling with. One symptom of this sensitivity is the debate over water meters and their apparent user-pays implications. But, as Chris Hunt points out, the strong emotions aroused in such debate tend to distract from the real issue: choosing the best funding base for the sustainable management and delivery of urban water services.
