I once lived in a small isolated town (population of about 10,000) that had its own natural gas wells, power plant, water system, and sewer system. The city did a great job of providing natural gas, electricity, sewer, water, and trash removal service at prices lower than in major cities in the state. I know that the city utilities did not lose or make money on the services, although there may have been some cross-subsidization.
