The City may own and operate any gas, water, heat, power, light, telephone, or other public utility for supplying its own needs for utility service, or for supplying utility service to private consumers or both. It may construct all facilities reasonably needed for that purpose, and may acquire any existing utility properties so needed; but such action may only be taken by ordinance, which shall not be an emergency ordinance. The operation of all public utilities owned by the City shall be under the supervision of the City Council.
