Abstract: •Hybrid water supply associates a centralized network and decentralized systems.•Decentralized systems are operating at the small level (i.e., household).•We examine their implications for the payment by users to renew infrastructure.•We show that they impose a disproportionate cost burden on conservative users.•The introduction of a tax for the use of decentralized systems is envisaged.
