"Water is a common good"

Below is the full text of press release on the Decree Law Legambiente who wants the privatization of local water management

Legambiente "Water is a common good"

"Water is a common good, its use must meet criteria of public benefit. Require the privatization of the water, therefore, means to take the wrong road. Most of the experiences of privatization of this service, in fact, did not lead to improving the quality of the resource, or to reduce fuel consumption and costs for citizens . So Vittorio Cogliati Dezza, national president of Legambiente said the confidence of the Government Decree on the Save-infringement containing the reform of local public services, including liberalization of the water.

"This bill is yet another attack on the local, regional and municipal - added Cogliati Dezza - who will be deprived of the opportunity to administer its own territory, even in the management of a primary good such as water, paving the way for a private speculation mainly at the expense of citizens. A decision like this, nor does it take into account the experiences of good governance, putting us all on the same floor with serious consequences for the quality of service provided to citizens. It is not clear, in fact, because public companies that still provide quality service and pricing should now be obliged to transfer substantial shares of the company to private management or even entrust again to others. "

"push ahead with privatization means that within the next fifteen years 65% of the water service in Europe and North America will be run by only three multinational corporations. The regulatory measures that are needed to restore our country throughout the national service water efficiently and avoid speculation and economic inefficiency others have concluded-Cogliati Dezza -. It should indeed find innovative ways to become involved in local communities participation in the management of water services, for monitoring the implementation of a transparent and fair exercise, in terms of social, environmental and economic. On these aspects would be essential to take decisions on time and according to different territorial needs and not general, as proposed by the law in question, to avoid cases of mismanagement or the prevalence of the logic of profit at the expense of quality of service and resource such as water leaks and lack of investment.
