I loved living in a city that owned the utilities. One bill covered electricity, garbage, and sewer. It was easy and honestly pretty comparable to the private. Of course people can't understand that everything was one bill and complained how "expensive" their power bill was. They just saw the number and made it one bill in their heads.
