3. What is a Public Service?
The public service is that provided by the State, either directly
or under its control and regulation. Thus, it seeks to ensure
the supply to the population of certain products considered
essential.
That is, services are considered public when the Government
provides them. This may be through state entities or
companies.

4. ● Its price is usually subsidized to ensure
that it is accessible to the population.
● Competition between Governments and
private bidders may or may not be
permitted.
● Its proper functioning should help
improve social welfare and equity among
citizens.
● It is financed with greater public debt or
directly with resources collected from
taxpayers.

PUBLIC SERVICES IN
AMERICA AND EUROPE
In America and Europe public services are required or
contemplated by the legislation of each State , in
which the activities and benefits permitted or obligatory
in a country are contemplated.
Public services are administered by the State through public
institutions created for such purposes, although they can
also fall to private companies, as long as they are subject
to the control, surveillance and supervision of the State,
and comply with current regulations and laws.

8. Electricity Service

AMERICA
In America it is delivered to consumers through a complex
network. Electricity is generated at power plants and
moves through a complex system, sometimes called the
grid, of electricity substations, transformers, and power
lines that connect electricity producers and consumers.
EUROPE
In Europe you have the right to have your home connected to
the local electricity network and be supplied with
electricity. The connection is provided by the network
operator designated to operate the energy infrastructure
in your local area (each local network has only one
designated operator)

AMERICA
Eleven percent of Americans receive water from private (so-called
"investor-owned") utilities. In rural areas, cooperatives often
provide drinking water. Finally, over 13 million households are
served by their own wells. In urban and suburban areas, water
is distributed from the source through large underground
pipes, called water mains, under the streets.
EUROPE
IN OTHER HANDS, About 88.2 % of Europe's freshwater use
(drinking and other uses) comes from rivers and groundwater,
while the rest comes from Reservoirs (10.3 %) and Lakes (1,5 %),
which makes these sources extremely vulnerable to threats posed
by over-exploitation, pollution and climate change.

12. WASTE COLLECTION

AMERICA
Most municipal solid wastes and hazardous wastes are
managed in land disposal units. In USA some cities, like
San Francisco and Seattle, are able to recycle more than
they send to landfills, but the majority of the U.S. sends
their trash to the dump.
EUROPE
The main methods of waste disposal across are landfill,
incineration and recycling. Few would argue against
recycling, but a fierce debate continues between landfill
and incineration.

14. CONCLUSION

15. Public services such as water,
electricity, and household garbage
collection in a populated center,
neighborhood, or city are necessary
for a healthy life, so it is a right that
citizens must have access to.
