The time & handover issues involved with that would probably cause a lot of issues and service interruptions for people.
You probably don't want that - as that will cause knock on effects like unrest, reduced santiary conditions, etc.
And specifically during this pandemic, if your water fails, that means more trips to the store to buy bottled water. Which means more chance for spreading the virus.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoFrom a UK perspective phone companies, water companies, train companies, banks, internet service providers, electricity companies, ..., all get bought without interruption in service. Sometimes they've been bought by the government, and sold off to private owners later too. Sure you need established systems but most developed countries should have such systems in place.
