The purpose of the study was to quantify the willingness to pay for the sustainability of the drinking water service in the Chucaripo Population Center of the Samán District in southern Peru. The approach to the methodology began with the identification of the quantitative approach, followed by the non-experimental design, as well as the application of the deductive and analytical method, where the sample size was 79 inhabitants of the town of Chucaripo, with the dichotomous regression model. The results of the model at 5% significance demonstrated that there is an average willingness to pay of S/ 2.19 soles for the sustainability of the drinking water service; The economic factor represented by income explains the existence of willingness to pay for the sustainability of the drinking water service and social factors such as age, household size, level of education, gender, monitoring of drinking water, Perception of improved water quality and the importance of water also explain the significance on willingness to pay. It is concluded to strengthen public policies aimed at greater public investment in drinking water projects to improve the standard of living of the inhabitants.
