Never, because the vast, vast majority are public systems

False on two levels. 1 - It isn't true that the vast majority of water systems are public (at least not if you don't consider any system with any public involvement even if its mostly private to be public), and 2 - If things changed so the vast majority, or 100% of the systems were public, there is no good reason to think that it would improve quality, either generally or specifically in terms of how many systems "have chunks".

To the extent that there is any solid evidence about the effect of privatization on quality it seems to support the idea that privatization increases quality.

The outlier was that one company. You focus everything on it, while my posts had information about water systems in multiple different countries. You go for the vivid outlier, while I've posted links to far more general data.
