Value of Water Study

IRWA completed a willingness-to-pay study for healthy fish habitat study among both members and non-members of IRWA. The survey was completed by mailing the survey to random non-members and members living within the watershed. 205 non-members returned the survey, and 155 members returned the survey. The average willingness to pay for healthy fish habitat was $31 dollars for non-members and $58 for members. The report also includes analysis of the other questions regarding recreational use of the rivers and ponds in the Ipswich Basin and respondent information.
