		abstract={Java Island is the most populated island in Indonesia. At the same time, the water provision in Java Island is still low in practice. In addition, Java Island is facing a deficit of water supply in the context of water provision. Clean water availability in Java island is only 1.750 m3 per capita/year in 2000 and will decrease to be 1200 m3 per capita/year; nonetheless, the minimum standard of water adequacy is 2000 m3 per capita/year. Increasing the population adds to the problem, and it becomes more complicated. Clean water supply is necessary and should be sustained. Using the hedonic price model, this paper tries to find the Willingness to Pay (WTP) for clean water on Java Island. 

From the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014 data, it is found that residents positively value clean water from piped and pumped water. Nevertheless, well water has been valued negatively by residents. This could be because of water pollution and because it is not practical anymore for residents to have it. WTP for clean water on Java Island is IDR 56.273 for piped water and IDR 19.430 for pumped water. Water treatment is an important key to fulfil residents’ needs from piped water. Education has played an essential role for residents to keep their preference for clean water. As a public good, water should be provided for poor people through government policy (by reducing transaction cost, instalment cost, and alternatives models) to reduce inequality between poor people and lower to high-class people in the water provision.}
