As Eleanor Shearer observes, privatised water entails a disconnect between the profit motive & the service requirement:

'The harder that ministers try to crack down on profiteering & underinvestment, the less private investors will want to put their money into the water industry. Only public ownership can deliver a more patient, long-termist approach to running the water industry for the public good, not private gain'!

And in Scotland there is a working model!
