“Monitoring and filtering for arsenic has the potential for being expensive, and municipal water associations work hard to keep costs down,” says Bob Woodward, the Forrest D. McKerley Professor of Health Economics Emeritus at UNH. Woodward and collaborators from Paul College, associate professor of economics Robert Mohr, economics lecturer Scott Lemos, and professor of resource economics John Halstead, of COLSA, prepared a report for NHDES that showed New Hampshire residents on municipal water systems would be willing to pay $35 each month to avoid the negative health effects of high arsenic levels in drinking water.
