Most of the time, they carry out work that offers them profits.
Hence, we often see them supplying water through tankers or supplying drinking water in sealed bottles, which costs extra.
They provide water, but at a price that only some people are able to afford.
Thus, when the private companies increased the price of water, riots broke out in some places, which forced the government to withdraw the service from private hands.
