Since the French revolution, town councils have been responsible for water management throughout France. Yet, most municipalities have been delegating the job to private water companies.As a result, 72% of French people use water distributed by three leaders in water supply: Veolia, Suez and Saur. Each year, these companies increase the price of France's water an average of 10%.
Today, in a bid to reduce costs and control privatization, the French government is finally returning the country's water to the public sector.
