    Not necessarily, it could also be better run, more efficient with less employees.

    For example maybe instead of 4 sets of at least 2 trash containers around my street there would only be 2 or 1 with all the pertinent colors (the company does more stuff than water)

    But I guess this is the bad side of living in a country with more public employees than private.

      That would be a reduction in the service quality, which is the other thing that always happens when utility services are privatised. So you get to pay more money for less service. The company has no incentive to provide a good service, because what else are you going to do?

        The government has no incentive to provide a good service because what are you going to do? Stop paying?
