Water privatization is a short-hand for private sector participation in the provision of water services and sanitation, although sometimes it refers to privatization of water resources themselves. Because water services are seen as such a key public service, water privatization is often controversial. Globally, about 70 million people or about 2% of the urban population is served by privately owned utilities, essentially in England and Wales, Chile and parts of the US. Another estimated 200 million people or 6% is served by utilities that are privately managed, but publicly owned, in about 40 countries such as in parts of France, China, Saudi-Arabia, Spain, the Philippines and Indonesia. In addition, an unknown number of people is served by private small-scale water providers in developing countries.
