Water commercialisation plan frozen for now
Wednesday 8th February 2012, 1:37PM GMT.
PUBLIC Services’ plans to commercialise Guernsey’s water and wastewater operations have been put on hold by the States.
Some members were concerned that there was not enough detail in the proposals, including what it would mean to peoples’ bills and how it would be regulated.
But they did accept that the two services should merged under the Guernsey Water name.
The department will have to come back with a full business case for commercialisation once the merger has happened after an amendment led by Deputy Matt Fallaize was successful by 41 votes to four.

Do not, under any circumstances, allow Guernsey’s water to be commercialised – not not NOT under any circumstances whatsoever. Can you imagine a Guernsey where only the wealthy will be able to afford water?????? Believe it, and do not allow Guernsey’s water to be commercialised! Never never ever.

How much more of their workload are certain States committees wanting to hive off to private enterprise?
They’ve just hiked up their own pay but they are hell bent on reducing their responsibilities
Dave Jones mentioned that if this continues PSD will have nothing left to do
That remark would also fit comfortably on Commerce and Employment and their new best friend the OUR
