I live in Washington state where it rains constantly, buy my water bill is about $200/month. Likewise, my power bill for a family of 5 is $400 per month. My power company still uses power poles to transmit electricity, like they have done is the 1800s. Meanwhile, we lost electricity for days during the last storm.

I argue that with competition, electric companies could innovate their distribution, ie bury the power lines, and the price of water would be cheaper.
