In Golden, Colorado a privately funded group has been set up to ensure water supplies are adequate. What is disturbing, however, is this:

Because the district has private backing, it won’t use voter-approved mill levies or taxes, as most special districts do, but it will have powers such as eminent domain.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t think it’s a good idea to grant any privately funded entity the powers of the state.
