	abstract = {In the City of Saint John, New Brunswick, approximately half of the collected wastewater is released directly into the harbour and surrounding waterways without being treated. Atlantic Coastal Action Program in Saint John, wanted to determine the approximate value local residents would assign to the cleanliness of the harbour. Computing their willingness to pay for clean water in the harbour did this. Using results from a telephone survey and contingent valuation, this amount was calculated. It was concluded that the local residents would be willing to contribute approximately \$2,000,000 annually towards the wastewater treatment efforts. In order to actually generate these funds, a viable mechanism of collection would have to be established. Until such time as a collection mechanism is put into place, progress will continue at the existing pace, and wastewater will continue to be released, untreated, into the environment.},
