This article, outlining the financial pitfalls dogging the privatization 
of water utilities, was originally published in the Wall Street Journal.

An important FYI: Victor Mercado, the head of the Detroit Water and 
Sewer Department (which serves 126 communities), is the former VP of 
RWE/Thames water. For more info on his connections with the private 
water utility industry:
