The major objective of this study is to estimate household willingness to pay for improvedrnsustainable water supply services, and to investigate its determinants in Addis Ababa cityrnof Ethiopia, by using contingent valuation method with a single bounded elicitationrnformat followed by open ended questions. A total of 375 randomly selected samplernhouseholds were interviewed, both probit and linear regression of ordinary list squarernmodel were used to analyze the determinants of households willingness to pay forrnimprovement of water supply services and A mean willingness to pay is found to be 2.78rnbirr per one bucket or 20 liter of jerican in the probit result and mean willingness to payrn2.01 birr in the open ended format result.

On the other hand, initial bid price and age of house hold head have negative andrnsignificant effect on the probability of willingness to pay for improved water supplyrnservices.
