Trends in Privatization of Water Utilities
In this roundtable discussion, the terms contract services, contract management, contract operations and privatization are defined and examined. Each term describes a different level of outside participation in the running of a water utility ‐ from contract services which are advisory or consulting services, to privatization which involves financing and a certain amount of ownership in the utility by an outside entity. How these various services, and the companies who offer them, will be affected by the Safe Drinking Water Act requirements is also discussed. The consensus is that the SDWA will increase business for contract operations because of the need for more sophisticated levels of water treatment, and because there will be a number of new plants in communities that have not had skilled operations staff before.
