Detailed Solution

In Bolivia, the water supply was handed over to a Private Company.
Government is responsible for providing public facilities to all. The basic needs which are required by every individual for survival, like sanitation, healthcare, etc., are known as public facilities. Modern society requires that the basic needs of everyone are met. When the responsibility for water supply was transferred to private firms in a few instances, the cost of water rose sharply, making it unaffordable for many. Huge demonstrations took place in cities, and in certain countries, like Bolivia, riots broke out, prompting the government to retake control of the service from private providers.
