I don't think anyone from laissez-faire capitalists to vanguard party communists can solve our water issues quickly, at the end of the day catastrophic underinvestment from both the state and the private sector have brought a battery farm's worth of chickens home to roost. Nobody can fix that without a decades-long effort and an enormous slice of humble pie.

The whole reason it was privatised to begin with was a way to shift future liabilities off the government's books, like our student loan system it's all about picking the future's pocket for today using questionable accounting in my view. Well now we live in the future, and everything is buggered.
