It is more and more important for the municipalities to provide more hygienic, more reliable drinking water to the society over the years. But to this goal, the municipalities need to make a lot of investments. The contribution of the community to these investments also has an important role. The aim of this study is to investigate whether drinking water will contribute to the improvement of municipal services. The study found that 65.7% of households were willing to pay 50-80 pounds for 1 litre of municipal water. In addition, as the consumption of fruit juice in households increases, the willingness to pay for drinking water increases. In addition, as the number of individuals in the houses increases, as the year of education of the household travel decreases, as the profession of the household travel becomes commercial, as the cost of the spring water increases and the price of the willingness to pay for the consumers increases, the willingness to pay for the drinking water of the consumers decreases. Consumers agree to pay up to 3.2 times the water invoice they pay for reliable drinking water. Therefore, municipalities can get the support of the community in improving their infrastructure services to provide consumers with more hygienic and tasty water.
