- W817587090 abstract "Hobart is the only capital city in Australia where water issupplied to the consumers unmetered. A flat rate is chargedannually in return for which consumers may take virtually unlimitedwater. There seems to be a prevalent belief that water should notbe sold to the community of Hobart on the basis of consumptionbecause of the natural abundance of water in Tasmania. This viewis reflected in the 'requirements approach' used by the MetropolitanWater Board in planning supply expansions. What is little realisedis that the source of Hobart's water (although virtually inexhaustible)is situated a fairly great distance away from the metropolitan area.Transporting water through pipelines over long distances is not acost-less affair and by virtue of this fact, water must be lookedupon and treated as an economic good.This study has a three-fold objective. Firstly, it is toexamine the efficacy of the present investment criteria used by theMetropolitan Water Board. The potential of the requirements approochto allocate society's resources efficiently is assessed. The pricevariable is suggested as a means of exercising water demandmanagement and the second objective is to compare the efficiency ofa marginal cost pricing approach with the requirements approach in0tel~s of resource allocation.Finally, no matter how superior a marginal cost pricing policymay be to the present flat-rate policy theoretically, it needs to beproven that the costs involved in implementing such a scheme do notoutweigh the benefits. To this end, a cost-benefit analysis isconducted to determine whether or-not universal metering should beintroduced in Hobart.The cost-benefit analysis implicitly compares the two alternativesavailable to water authorities to meet demand after 1978/9 when the present supply is expected to reach full capacity." @default.
