(A) The City Council shall act on the company's application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity by resolution, and may deny any such application if, in its sound discretion, it determines that:
(1) There is a reasonable cause rendering the proposed operation undesirable or inadequate to this city;
(2) There is insufficient public need or demand for the proposed water company;
(3) The proposed water company's operation is inadequate, unsafe, or does not comply with existing standards in use throughout the city for water service;
(4) That it does not provide adequate fire protection.
(B) The Council may, by resolution, and after five days' written notice to the company, suspend or revoke a company's certificate for any of the grounds for which it may deny an application and, in addition thereto, it may suspend or revoke any company's certificate for a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter.
