How about public utility districts? In my town, most of our utilities are public utility districts that are a private company with a publicly elected board of directors. Our electric company, SMUD, is fantastic with excellent customer service and much cheaper rates than PG&E. I called SMUD about a tree that was leaning towards a power pole during a storm and they cut it down within 4 hours! I’ve been to some board meetings to complain about some shenanigans with our water district, and it’s pretty cool to see public oversight in action.
