Types of privatization are nearly countless. You may sell only the network or the entire water works including all services. You may lease the network to a private company. Cities may form a Ltd. but remain as owners of the company and so on. I nice overview (unfortunately not totally up-to-date anymore) of the status of waterworks of European Cities you can find on the website of an EU funded project called “watertime”: http://www.watertime.net/wtcscit_ncr.asp
