Determination of the Costs of Potable Water Extraction in the Municipality of Villagran, Guanajuato, Mexico

In this work, the costs generated from the extraction of water from the wells of the operating body of the Potable Water Board of the Municipality of Villagrán, Guanajuato (JUMAPAV) were determined, in which the characteristics of each well were considered for evaluation and analysis. The unit costs were determined through the unit price analysis methodology proposed by the Regulation of the Law of Public Works and Related Services (RLOPSRM, 2012), the electromechanical efficiency of the wells was calculated and the influence on its value in energy costs and on the volume extracted was evaluated. Finally, the price of the agency’s fixed rate for 10 m³ of water was compared with the price obtained from the proposed analysis.
