After months of demonstrations, strikes, roadblocks, and violent confrontations between protesters and security forces during the Cochabamba water war, the Bolivian government eventually reversed course on privatizing water services in April 2000. It canceled the water contract with the private consortium and returned control of Cochabamba’s water system to the public utility. The decision was widely viewed as a victory for the protest movement.
