This section shall also be interpreted to permit the city to require the company to obtain prior approval before instituting or increasing any rate.
(B) The company shall not, as to rates, charges, service facilities, rules, regulations or in any other respect make or grant any undue reference or advantage to any person nor subject any person to any undue prejudice or disadvantage.
