In The Flow: Utility Privatization — Good, Bad, Or Indifferent?
As the privatization of water and wastewater utilities becomes more prominent, sometimes even compelled, Water Online Show hosts Travis Kennedy and Kevin Westerling go "In The Flow" with Bill Becker, Vice President at Hazen and Sawyer, for a discussion on public vs. private utility ownership. Becker, once a senior engineer at American Water, the nation's largest (and private) water and wastewater utility company, has rich experience and expertise to share on both ownership models. Tune in to hear the factors that may be impacting the trend toward privatization, the pros and cons of each model from an operational standpoint, and whether or not consumers need to worry about who supplies their water.
