Summary:
This article pertains to one of the major problems facing many communities today, private water! Major companies are making water a private matter when looking at a distribution point of view. Instead of making it mandatory for all to have clean drinking water some countries such as Mexico have managed to make it so that private companies get rich by supplying water bottles at a much higher expense to its citizens, as opposed to government making it it's duty to do such.
Discussion Question: Do you believe that water companies should capitalize on the opportunity and make money on something that if not fixed can have deadly consequences for society or should fixing the problem be made part of their daily agenda.

The government should do his part in supplying clean water because if not, sooner or later many of lower economic people, which is the majority of the population in those developing countries, are going to be suffering from things like Hepatitis A & E, Vitamin deficienies, dental problems due to lack of flouride in the water, and also various bacterias that can grow in untreated water. The major water companies might be making big bucks but when the government sees himself in a health care crisis those same multi millions dollar companies are not going to be there to help.
