This is the hidden cost which will be assumed by taxpayers in cleaning up a part of the environment for the consumers benefit.

a good example is;if an industry disposes of wastes in a stream, it imposes costs to people who want to use the stream for other purposes, such as drinking water. People who live in that municipality will have to pay to clean up the water if they want to drink it. The cost of cleaning the stream is a hidden cost of the production of goods by the industry.
