Nice to see a small town in India make the news in Washington Post in a relatively positive tone.

When Indians were in charge of water supply,"Hubli residents used to skip work and school to line up for water, which was delivered by the city every eight days."


When the French company started managing the water supply,"This has been a miracle. We can turn the tap on anytime of the day and there is water,” said Girija Manjunath, 31, who lives in a blue-collar area that now receives water. “It has freed me from water worries. My children are cleaner and go to school. Others in the city envy my destiny now.”
