A major problemconfronting the Accra-Tema Metropolitan area of Ghana is the provision of potablewater supply. One reason for this occurrence is the inability of Ghana WaterCompany Limited to meet the growing demand. This can partly be attributable to theineffective pricing by the PURC which is below cost recovery levels. In thisstudy we investigate household’s willingness-to-pay (WTP) for potable watersupply together with the factors that determine WTP by using the ContingentValuation Method (CVM). The results indicate that households in the Accra-Temametropolis are willing to pay on the average GH0.10 for a bucket (17.5 litres)of water which is about 7 times more than what they are paying currently.Analysis of the factors that influence households WTP indicates that income,time spent to fetch water from existing sources, level of education, sanitationfacility, perceived quality of current water supply, sex of the respondent andmarital status are the main factors influencing households WTP for potablewater supply services in the metropolis. We recommend that government improvewater supply and increase tariffs since people are prepared to pay more forpotable water supply as well as reduce inefficiencies that exist in the sector.
