dc.description.abstract	Getting a good understanding regarding the economic and environmental performance of water utilities is of great importance to achieve the goal of an efcient and sustainable industry. In this study, we apply the range adjusted measure (RAM) data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to evaluate the integrated (production and environmental) efciency of several water utilities located in Chile. Integrated efciency is evaluated using the concepts of natural and managerial disposability. This approach further allows us to quantify the contribution of each input and undesirable product on efciency scores. The results highlighted that the Chilean water industry showed high levels of production and environmental efciency over time. Under natural disposability, water utilities could control production costs to reduce water leakage and unplanned water supply interruptions by 3.3% on average. Under managerial disposability, water utilities could further cut down undesirable outputs by 1.4% on average by adopting best managerial practices. On average, potential savings in operating costs, employment, water leakage, and unplanned water supply interruptions were higher for concessionary utilities as they showed slightly lower efciency scores than full private utilities.
