Download or read book Privatization of Water Services in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-09-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the quest to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of water and wastewater services, many communities in the United States are exploring the potential advantages of privatization of those services. Unlike other utility services, local governments have generally assumed responsibility for providing water services. Privatization of such services can include the outright sale of system assets, or various forms of public-private partnershipsâ€"from the simple provision of supplies and services, to private design construction and operation of treatment plants and distribution systems. Many factors are contributing to the growing interest in the privatization of water services. Higher operating costs, more stringent federal water quality and waste effluent standards, greater customer demands for quality and reliability, and an aging water delivery and wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure are all challenging municipalities that may be short of funds or technical capabilities. For municipalities with limited capacities to meet these challenges, privatization can be a viable alternative. Privatization of Water Services evaluates the fiscal and policy implications of privatization, scenarios in which privatization works best, and the efficiencies that may be gained by contracting with private water utilities.

Book Synopsis Water Services in Chile by : Gabriel A. Bitr??n
Download or read book Water Services in Chile written by Gabriel A. Bitr??n and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, Chile put in place a new regulatory regime for water and sanitation, allowing rates to reflect the actual cost of providing services. The government then reorganized the sector under 13 state-owned regional water companies and, in 1998, started to partially privatize some of them. Four years after the first sale, it is now possible to assess the early results of privatization. This Note examines the outcomes for investors, and consumers, and compares the performance of the privatized companies with that of companies remaining under state ownership.
Book Synopsis Water Regimes by : Dominique Lorrain
Download or read book Water Regimes written by Dominique Lorrain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the water sector has undergone profound institutional, economic and political transformations. Some countries have encouraged privatization of water services, but in many cases this has provoked adverse reaction to such a neoliberal and market-based approach to this common shared but essential resource. This book goes beyond the ideology of the public versus private water regime debate, by focusing on the results of these types of initiatives to provide better water services, particularly in urban settings. It provides numerous examples of alternative models, to show who is responsible for implementing such systems and what are their social, institutional and technical-scientific characteristics. Policies are analysed in terms of their implications for employees and residents. The book presents a new combinatory approach of water regimes, based on several international case studies (Argentina, Bolivia, China, France, Germany, India, South Africa and the USA, plus a comparison of three cities in Africa) presenting specific challenges for water models. These case studies demonstrate the successes and problems of a range of private sector involvements in the provision of water services, and provide examples of how small-scale systems can compare with larger-scale more technical systems.

Book Synopsis Transnational Corporations in Urban Water Governance by : Joyce Valdovinos
Download or read book Transnational Corporations in Urban Water Governance written by Joyce Valdovinos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-14 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role played by business in urban water governance by analyzing the evolution of the global private water sector along with four public-private partnerships in Mexico and the U.S. The local nature of water services often hides the global developments behind the rise of transnational water corporations, which have gone from being local operators to becoming dynamic and powerful actors within an interconnected transnational space for water. This book focuses on the French groups Veolia and Suez, two of the most prominent private actors in global water governance, and the development and adaptation strategies of both companies in the cities of Aguascalientes, Mexico City, Atlanta, and Milwaukee over the past 30 years. Drawing on over 100 interviews conducted with corporate executives, public authorities, and local users of water services, this book moves beyond the simplistic dichotomy of the public-private debate and develops a theoretical framework that analyzes the economic and political power wielded by transnational business actors in global water governance. Not only does the book explain how Veolia and Suez strategically mobilize resources at difference scales in order to expand their global operations, but it also provides a nuanced picture of how state regulation remains of central importance to understanding the dynamics and evolution of the global water sector. Students and scholars interested in business and the environment, including public-private partnerships, business management and transnational corporations, and water governance, will find this book of great interest as will professionals and policymakers working in these fields.
Book Synopsis Water Infrastructure by : Ellen Crocker
Download or read book Water Infrastructure written by Ellen Crocker and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communities will need an estimated $300 billion to $1 trillion over the next 20 years to repair, replace, or upgrade aging drinking water & wastewater facilities; accommodate a growing pop'n.; & meet new water quality standards. This report examines: (1) how the amount of funds obtained by large public & private drinking water & wastewater utilities -- those serving populations greater than 10,000 -- through user charges & other local funding sources compare with their cost of providing service; (2) how such utilities manage existing capital assets & plan for needed capital improvements; & (3) what factors influence private companies' interest in assuming the operation or ownership of publicly owned drinking water & wastewater facilities.

Book Synopsis Privatisation de L'eau by : Edouard Pérard
Download or read book Privatisation de L'eau written by Edouard Pérard and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the issue of water privatization and aims to explain the choice between public and private water supply by answering the two following questions. What does drive municipalities’ choice of delegating water supply to private operators? Symmetrically, when water systems have been delegated to private providers, what determinants can explain the discontinuation of private water provision and the municipalization of private water networks? This thesis is divided into seven chapters. Following the introduction, the second chapter presents the characteristics of the water infrastructure sector and the scope of private sector participation in water supply around the world. The third chapter reviews the economic literature on privatization. The fourth chapter surveys 112 empirical studies on the difference in efficiency between the public and the private sector. The fifth chapter proposes a complete theory of the choice between public and private water supply based on four components: difference of cost of funds, transaction costs of outsourcing, difference in efficiency and potential political cost of privatizing. The sixth chapter deals with the econometric test of the theory developed in the fifth chapter on a dataset of 459 US counties of an overall population of more than 53 million inhabitants in 45 States. The seventh chapter concludes on the determinants of the choice between public and private drinking water. This choice is determined by the cost of funds, especially the marginal social cost of taxes, transaction costs, the difference in efficiency and the potential political cost of privatizing

Book Synopsis Water Pricing and Public-Private Partnership by : Asit K. Biswas
Download or read book Water Pricing and Public-Private Partnership written by Asit K. Biswas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no question that water pricing and public-private partnership can improve water management practices in the future. However, this concept is neither the cure-all many proponents argue, nor the disaster its opponents forecast. Providing a comprehensive and objective assessment of what does and does not work, where, why and under what circumstances, this informative collection assesses the social, economic, equity and institutional implications. This cohesive set of carefully selected essays, the result of The Third World Centre for Water Management and the Inter-American Development Bank's decision to objectively and critically assess the experiences in these areas, transcends the current dogmatic debate on these complex issues. Providing an in-depth analysis and assessment of the main issues and constraints of water pricing, private sector participation and their affect on water supply, the collection draws on illustrative case studies from Argentina, Brazil, the USA and Western European countries amongst others. This is a special issue of the Journal of Water Resource Development.
