The cost of cheap water. An IPE article highlights Eduardo Zegarra’s opinion
The Peruvian Institute of Economics (IPE) gathers, on El Comercio newspaper, the recommendations of our senior researcher, Eduardo Zegarra, to identify adequate water tariffs that guarantee its supply and efficient human consumption. According to Zegarra, “agricultural tariffs should multiply 3.5 times to cover the costs of operation and mainteance”. In the case of Sedapal, “the average tariff in Lima should reach at least S/3 per cubic meter and hence increase the price based on the planned investment portfolio”.
