Private Control Threatens Milwaukee's Drinking Water
On June 15, 2009, Campaign Against Violence and many other organizations with Keep Public Our Water Campaign (KPOW) protested against the privatization of Milwaukee's water system.
CAV assisted in organizing the community by getting the Milwaukee Common Council to withdraw the idea of privatizing Milwaukee’s drinking water through the KPOW Campaign.
Milwaukee officials are considered a risky and expensive way to balance the city's budget: They wanted to lease your drinking water system. In this scenario, a corporation would pay the city an upfront fee for the right to control your water for nearly a century. Despite the city's intentions, the proposal is no silver bullet for budgetary shortfalls, and it could hurt your pocketbook and your water service.
