The private corporations need to make a living. Private corporations have families to feed and bills to pay.

OK, you are actually crazy. I was trying to have a reasoned debate up to this point, but not acknowledging water as a universal human right is not something I can argue around.
The free market is not magic fairy dust. It is a good solution (not perfect) in many circumstances, and not good in others. Making things a fee market conditions are not conducive will not magicaly fix things. You have yet to address anything in my post, instead repeating your 'free market makes people happy' mantra.
"Free market capitalism and the majority of people are better off when a government monopoly is privatised and free choice, competition is encouraged. Support freedom and free trade. "
Yes, WHERE IT WORKS. I am arguing that it does not work in X situation, not that it isn't a bad idea for other things.
