Since the mid 1990’s the privatisation of water services has been championed as the solution to delivering water to 1.1 billion people without access to potable water in developing countries. Privatisation of the service has failed to bring water to over 200,000 people in the impoverished city of El Alto, Bolivia where people living on $2 a day are being charged $500 for a basic water connection.
