Description of Project

 

This report examined the direct and indirect distributional effects of institutional and pricing reforms in the operations of the Sydney Water Board since 1988. Specific elements covered in this report include an analysis of variation in retail prices between customer groups and an analysis of the existing cross subsidies and the impacts of removing these cross subsidies.  Data bases on water use, income and household demography were used to assess the distributional effects of changes in water tariffs and improvements in water quality.
