My local government operates several utilities, and does it very well and at reasonable prices.
And when there are problems - their board of directors and CEOs are very visible and reachable. Some live in my neighborhood.
Of course, the city government isn't dominated by know-nothing, do-nothing antigovernment types. We try to hire for competence and comittment to mission, not ideology.
