Between 1948 and 2004, three American cities made almost opposite decisions about who should own, price and maintain their water. This monograph reconstructs those decisions from council minutes, engineering reports and correspondence, and traces what each one did to public trust over the following half-century.
Includes a full bibliography, 340 notes and a professionally compiled subject index.
Dr Gideon Mbeki
Dr Gideon Mbeki teaches urban history and spent six years in municipal archives assembling the material for his first monograph. He published independently after two university presses admired the manuscript and declined it on length.
He credits the index with most of the book's library adoptions.
