As Akron contemplates leasing its sewers, other cities share their experience of privatization

Wednesday, October 29, 2008

While voters in Akron consider leasing the city's sewer system for 75 years to private business, other cities have years of experience with private management of wastewater treatment. One advocate says that experience has been mostly negative, with problems ranging from poor service to higher rates. But officials of one Midwest city say privatization has saved taxpayers millions of dollars.
