Summary
Drinking water quality is an important public policy issue in the United States. Analysis of drinking water policies include economic valuation of the costs which contamination imposes upon society. An important impact of drinking water contamination is an increase in the health risk of water use. Individuals affected by drinking water contamination may take measures to reduce or eliminate the risk. These measures are referred to as averting behaviors. This study focuses on the usefulness of averting expenditures in estimating the value of changes in drinking water quality.
