Isn’t it already “publicly” owned though? It’s not owned by a single public authority, but rather a decentralized number of public authorities via city municipalities.
As the article mentioned, most if not all of these “bottled water” companies buy the water from the water municipality. Some go the extra length of bottling close to the source (probably so they can advertise/market tap water as “spring water”).
Maybe residents need to advocate for revoking the licenses of these private bottling companies.
