A Hedonic Approach to Estimating Operation and Maintenance Costs for New York Municipal Water Systems

Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, 1997, vol. 26, issue 2, 184-195

Abstract: A hedonic cost function is used to isolate the operation and maintenance costs for water treatments. For small systems, costs are substantial for some technologies, but not for others. When regional differences in input costs are accounted for, small systems located in rural areas may have a cost advantage over similar systems closer to urban centers; however, costs of water treatment to meet Safe Drinking Water Act amendments may still be substantial.
