deprivatize
Transfer to government
To deprivatize is to return something to public or government ownership after it had been privatized.
The term appears in debates about utilities, healthcare, and infrastructure: The city voted to deprivatize its water system after rates tripled under private management.
The opposite of privatize, it implies reversing a previous transfer to private hands.
