The economics of "managed competitions" to operate water utilities

A "managed competition" - whether it results in optimized public or new private operations - should deliver improved services and/or reduced costs. But it won't unless the decision process is based on an equitable cost comparison process. PA's experience in creating these processes can ensure positive outcomes for all concerned.
