As a homeowner I literally pay a fee every month to fund the construction and maintenance of the infrastructure that gets water to my home. If that water supply is cut off without valid reason, there is a complaint mechanism with the local utility commission where the issue can be heard and resolved. I also live in the municipality where my water is supplied, and therefore am represented by its government. Therefore I am both economically and politically invested in that infrastructure. Unfortunately none of this is true for the folks in this article. Is that a "guarantee"? No. Nothing is guaranteed. But it's far better than the arrangement these folks operated under.
