Utility Revenue Bond

  

See: Revenue Bond.

It's just a bond floated by a utility (power company, water company, gas company) backed by the revenues of the utility itself.

So...what are the odds we don't need water anymore? Electricity? Gas? Yeah, low odds. So these bonds generally get floated at low interest rates, and only extremely rarely go bust.
