This analysis of the politics of water describes the historical development of the water industry through the 1980s privatization controversy in England and Wales and the contentious hybrid reorganization in Scotland, to current environmental and social concerns. Against a background of "Europeanized" policy-making, it shows how privatization and increasing EC influence have shifted water policy from the private management of public business, to the public management of private business. As water continues to inspire controversy and conflict over the salaries of its senior executives, this work examines the consequences of increased water charges and public concern over levels of water pollution in Britain.

William A. Maloney is a Lecturer in Government at the University of Strathclyde.
In recent years, one sector of public policy vital to everyday life has seen major organisational policy changes: water supply. In Scotland, there was a contentious hybrid reorganisation; in England and Wales, the privatisation controversey, and the long process leading up to its stockmarket flotation and subsequent regulation. These are among the areas examined in this analysis of a vital utility. Against a background of increasingly Europeanised policy-making, the water sector has become much more open, more contentious, drawing a wider range of interests and ideas into the policy process than at any other time. Thus, this study illustrates that both privatisation and increasing EC influence have shifted water policy from the private management of public business to the public management of private business. It remains a sector inspiring controversy and conflict over the salaries of its senior executives, increased water charges, and public concern over levels of water pollution in Britain.
