If water utilities were private, they would be significantly more accountable for their actions. Both criminally and civilly. DA's don't prosecute their own, because that's career suicide. City council and employees have qualified immunity. We give government special protections that prevent public accountability because it's expected that democracy effectively puts competent people into office. We are continually proving this to be wrong. Our election and powers structure is not accurate to the voter base. Most of these positions go in challenged, because people can't quit their job to fill a government role. Further, private companies can't keep passing the ball like governments do. They can't pull from other funds, and they have contracted duties. Even better if the company is a co-op.
