Existing political conditions for setting drinking water rates. Analysis from the CONDORCET paradox

The article studies the Condorcet Paradox applied to the operation of the Cantonal Cabildo of Cuenca - Ecuador. The vote taken within a political space obeys the majority rule even when its decision involves normal organizational development. The findings determine that for several years the rates of drinking water were not modified despite the fact that ETAPA-EP presented money needs and was compromised. The Condorcet Paradox is recognized when voter preferences are cyclical even though the individual preference is contrary to the group. The study presents historical - qualitative analysis.
