Tariffs are essential but not the
only pathway to cost recovery, addressing affordability, and
managing water conservation. To maximize their potential,
they must be well designed, complemented by appropriate
instruments, adequately regulated, and understood by
customers. This report builds upon that one, and provides
policy makers with the information needed to design better
tariffs to further the economic efficiency, affordability,
and environmental sustainability of water supply services.
Through a layered and comprehensive analysis of the most
prevalent tariff structures, it provides policy makers with
specific guidance on pricing water supply services in
response to the sector’s often-competing goals. This
document comprises a synthesis of fifteen unique research
papers that, combined, articulate a step-by-step thought
process for designing effective tariffs with a view to
achieving sustainable development goal (SDG) 6. |
