This has happened alot. Reykjavik did this with their sewers in the 2008 neighborhood. The municipal government, you know, the one closest to the voters, decided that selling them and leasing them back would be a moneymaker for the city. There was a Frontline about it i think. They were not the only ones by a long piece, but they were early adopters.
