While I have no desire to defend the water companies (who more than any other private utility have what amounts to a licence to print money), a bald ‘number of reservoirs sold’ doesn’t tell us much.

As the article is behind a paywall I can’t see whether it reveals useful metrics like total cubic capacity lost in the sale, or reasons given for the sales such as reservoir no longer in a strategically useful location, life-expired components being prohibitively expensive to replace, etc.
