Why do you think that just because a company makes a profit, you will be charged more than if a government does it? There is no incentive to reduce costs for a government owned utility. Sometimes the government can have "other" ideas, which might be more costly (Solar and Wind mandates).
In Indiana, they took the toll roads and sold the operations and maintenance to a company. They are not allow to raise rates. But they do get a cut of the tolls. The result, they reduced operating costs while improving road conditions. More people use the roads, the company makes money and the bonds are being paid off at a faster rate than expected.
