A water grid isn't quite as difficult as it sounds - in fact we have the makings of one called the canal network. There is no real reason why the water market shouldn't be competitive, but like making meters compulsory to choke demand, the vested interests in the water companies aren't going to let it happen. Big money to be made owning and controlling a monopoly utility - ask any foreign pension fund.
