I have read through the arguments for and against water privatisation. Both government and private enterprise can deliver water to households consumers it would be cheaper for governments to deliver water to households and still make a profit but private enterprises could charge as much as the want and water prices would become a lot more expensive. 

The quality and supply of water could be monitored and controlled by government and upgrades would ensure the quality and supply of water. The quality and supply of water would be questionable if questionable private companies ran the water supplies and upgrades would be avoided as a way of saving costs.
