Resumo: | The objective of this study is develop a theoretical model that can evaluate two types of public health expenditures on water-borne health risks: water-related municipal services, an ex ante preventative measure against water-borne contamination, and medical treatment, an ex post treatment of the water-borne pollutant’s harmful effects on human health.  The modeled community can allocate resources in either centralized-municipal water-services, point-of-use water-services, or medical intervention, with expenditures subject to a budget constraint.  The movement of a water-borne illness through the community is modeled with a susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) disease framework.  An optimization framework is developed, including a statement of the problem’s Hamiltonian and first-order-conditions.  The first-order-conditions are discussed.  Future work includes obtaining a numerical solution to the optimization problem.
