The City Council may provide that any such ordinance vacating a public street or alley, or part thereof, shall not become effective until the owners of the property abutting upon the street or alley, or part thereof, so vacated, pay compensation in an amount which, in the judgment of the Council, shall be equal to the benefits which will accrue to such owners by reason of the vacation, and if there are any public service facilities in such street or alley, or part thereof, the ordinance may also reserve to the municipality or to the public utility, as the case may be, owning such facilities, such property rights of way and easements as, in the judgment of the Council, are necessary or desirable for continuing public service by means of those facilities and for the maintenance, renewal and reconstruction thereof.
