“The water system should be under the control of local operators owned by local governments, this ensures they deliver the water required by those local governments.”

“We are abstaining because, although well-intentioned, the proposed change brings little to no advantages and excessively restricts competition. Water utilities are already publicly owned and tariffs regulated, so excluding private operators from contracted services would offer no clear benefit to low and middle-income households (aside for, possibly, a centralised governance model), with an increased risk of corruption (something not unheard of for public companies and NewCos).”
