The Government regulate natural monopolies by A.) ensuring and overseeing one supplier, because a natural monopoly occurs when in an industry the fixed costs are too higher, so is very difficult that more than one business start activities in that industry, for that reason only can exist one competitor or one supplier, as an example of that are the public utilities as water or electricity.
