This work was supported by the Programa Becas Chile, Comision Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONICYT) [2015] ; Alumni Fund University of Bristol [2017] ; and Gender Research Centre, School of Sociology, Policy and International Relations, University of Bristol [2017] . This research would not have been possible without the participation of all interviewees. It draws on my doctoral research, which is why I thank PhD supervisors Dr Mark Jackson and Dr Egle Cesnulyte. I acknowledge the patient teachings of Dorothy E. Smith and Susan M. Turner who run the IE workshops I attended in Canada. Thanks to my IE friends <acute accent> Orla Murray and Liz Ablett for insightful discussions.
Juan, Jose and Fito\u2019s efforts to provide water to their families, and the work of those working in \u2018community water management\u2019 respond to insufficient State support in the provision of quality drinking water at a similar price to that available to people in urban areas. The result is that the cost of living in the countryside becomes an individual responsibility of small-scale farmers, pensioners, and housewives. When in the Chilean countryside, we are still at the very centre of the global capitalist system which works for the benefit of private sanitary companies and urban citizens. The idea of \u2018community water management\u2019 works as an ideological code found across discursive sites and engraved in policy and institutional practices. This ideological code is materialised in the APR Programme which assumes APRs are in poor areas where people work for free for their community under a logic of solidarity and mutual aid ( MOP, 2017 ). The business of water is funded in part by the efforts of people like Juan, Jos\u00E9 and Fito who \u2018are not vulnerable, nor rich either\u2019 (Fito, Array\u00E1n). This business is also possible through the work of people like Susana and the APR manager, and many other women I interviewed, their mothers and grandmothers, and their unpaid efforts. Their work sustains the ruling apparatus that subordinates their experiences. Because water is a basic need, the impossible position people are under is dealt with by getting involved in community water management, attending meetings with government officials, and doing what is needed to get funds to pay for either all of the investment or part of it, as was the case in Algarrobo. Meanwhile, the State supports the business of drinking water by subsidising the work of private sanitary companies and by having given them water rights for free, which they can now sell to those in need. In urban areas, the State builds the infrastructure needed for multinational sanitary companies to provide drinking water and sanitation to urban populations and profit from this activity, without having to pay for the infrastructure. This is in stark contrast to the experiences of Juan, Jos\u00E9 and Fito here described. Moreover, rural populations are increasingly relying on water tankers to provide water to rural communities (Interview with Environmental Health Officer, MINSAL) which is not the case in urban areas.
