For those who think that privatizing our public water systems is a good idea, I offer this counterpoint...
Margaret Thatcher privatized all of the UK's water utilities in the 1980s, and now we see the consequences of decades of underinvestment, shareholders stripping dividends out while rates rise and improvements are ignored, and rising debt.

@petergleick Yup. We need to reclaim the #commons. Everywhere. Public water supply is just one (albeit very important) topic here.
