Here's a big water utility company: http://www.amwater.com/about-us/our-states.html http://www.amwater.com/about-us/our-states.html It's pretty common for water supply to be treated as a utility, with municipal monopolies provided - like cable or electricity.

Only 15% of water utilities are private companies: http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/Po-Re/Privatization-of-Water-Management.html http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/Po-Re/Privatization-of-Wate.... And even, it's usually an arrangement where the city contracts with a private company to operate its water system. The companies don't own the system and prices are set by the municipalities.
