Private water companies. Big gov't sucks.
i guess being a biologist and a civil engineer i'm more passionate about clean water than most people, judging by the majority of joke posts on this thread. the problem with water is it doesn't understand boundaries--property lines, state lines, etc. that's why, like it or not, the federal government is best suited to deal with water quality. the solution is not to turn your back on big government, but to work to make it more responsive and more balanced.
