据估计，美国西部四个地点改善农村供水的支付意愿从每户每月4.43美元到17.29美元不等。这些结果与其他农村供水研究类似。模型结果及与以往研究的比较表明，条件价值评估方法可以为农村供水效益提供有用的估计。这一分析为私人和政府官员提供了有用的信息，他们必须确定应将有限的资金用于改善供水。没有资源完成特定地点评估研究的供水商和政府分析员，可以使用分析中提出的一般效益标准和地点特定因素，以确定改善供水的目标地区。分析中提出的效益范围可用于帮助确定拟议供水项目的可接受成本水平。
The estimated willingness to pay for improved rural water supplies at four sites in the western United States ranges from $4.43 to $17.29 per household per month. These results are similar to other rural water supply studies. The modeling results and comparison with previous studies indicate that the contingent valuation method can provide useful estimates of rural water supply benefits. This analysis provides information useful to private and public officials who must determine where limited funds should be spent for water supply improvements. Water suppliers and government analysts who do not have the resources to complete site specific valuation studies can use general benefit criteria and site specific factors presented in the analysis to target areas for water supply improvements. The range of benefits presented in the analysis can be used to help determine an acceptable level of costs for a proposed water supply project.
