Supposedly, it's intended to maintain and manage the water system, and actually run the treatment plants IIRC. The thing is, the system's been given the absolute bare minimum of maintenance or investment for decades. There're still lead pipes down there in places. They charged for it, and charged for service connections when new houses are built - but never put any of that money towards maintaining the services. It was dumped into the banks instead.
And then the whole network was basically destroyed by a hard winter about 4 years ago. Pipes froze and burst. So 50% of treated water goes straight into the dirt through leaks. 25% of what's left is hazardous to human health, and the final 25% taste like steel and arse.
It's beyond shagged.
