Cochabamba residents faced crushing prices for fresh water until Olivera led a protest to keep the water supply of one of South America's poorest country's affordable. Bechtel Corp. bought the local water system 2000. After the purchase, he said, many poor residents had monthly water bills of $20 or more, even though Bolivia's minimum wage at the time was only about $100 a month. Olivera also warned against allowing Latin America's other natural resources to be controlled by large, private corporations.
