Once again, the profit motive does a disservice to the public.
The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority filed a lawsuit today against a company that used to manage the utility.
PWSA alleges that Veolia North America-Northeast LLC “grossly mismanaged [the authority’s] operations, abused its positions of special trust and confidence, and misled and deceived PWSA as part of its efforts to maximize profits for itself to the unfair detriment of PWSA and its customers,” the authority said in a statement.
