Tell Congress to prevent the Water for the World Act of 2009 from being used as a vehicle to privatize water in developing countries. The Water for the World Act 2009 sets the goal of bringing safe drinking water to 100 million people for the first time. This is an important goal for which the U.S. should strive. However, the bill contains a peripheral component that encourages public-private partnerships, which have been used in the U.S. and abroad to privatize municipal water systems. Please take action below to help prevent privatization in developing countries. |
