Winnipeg Free Press picture of the council meeting to decide the fate of Winnipeg's water utility
So it has been decided. Winnipeg will have a P3 partnership for the water utility. Officially, Council voted 10-6 Wednesday to create municipal corporate entity that will manage water and sewer services. This entity will also oversee garbage and recycling.
The council meeting lasted 12 hours and covered several things including the transfer of land at Parker (which I will discuss in another post).
I can honestly say I have no idea if this new utility will be better than what we have now.
Will it cost less? Will it be more accountable? Will it be more efficient?
Who can say? At most this is an experiment.
