The study relied on UNICEF (2013) baseline survey which estamates the population of the two LGAs at 117,026. A sample of 660 respondents were initally sampled using Bill Godden (2004) formular for determination of sample size, out of which 610 were eventually used for the study.The reseach design adopted for the study is the survey design. One questionnaire was developed and validated from which copies were made and administered to 660 respondents out of which 610 were validly retrieved and formed basis for the study. Analysis of the questions was done majorly using simple percentages in contingency table format. One hypothesis was tested using Chi square (x 2 3) at 5% level of significance. The Chi square calculated is 39.3 while the critical value is 7.185. The result of the study shows that willingness to pay for waters supply affects the sustainability of water resources.
