water utilities
Tap supply services
Water utilities are organizations that supply drinking water and manage wastewater for homes and businesses.
Most are government-owned or heavily regulated monopolies, since running multiple competing pipe networks would be impractical.
The water utility raised rates to fund infrastructure repairs.
The term also refers to the services themselves: Our water utilities are included in the rent.
