Will Milwaukee Privatize Our Water? by Sura, May 21

The City of Milwaukee is moving toward privatizing Milwaukee Water even as they speak of making Milwaukee the Fresh Water Capitol of the world (privatization is part of that scenario too).

Other cities and communities that have privatized water have seen
terrible results, including skyrocketing prices, neglect of
infrastructure maintenance, reduced water quality and destroyed public
confidence. Water is becoming more precious by the day and it makes no
fiscal sense to bid it out at today’s values.

If you want to be involved and active on fighting this short-sighted, fiscally irresponsible idea, join the “Keep Public Our Waters” group by sending an email to kpow-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
