If the legislative authority of any municipal corporation fails to regulate, within

sixty days after the expiration of any lawful rate, by ordinance, the rates to be

or private consumption, such water company or one per cent of the qualified electors

of such municipal corporation may petition the public utilities commission to fix

the just and reasonable rates for the furnishing of such services, and the commission

may thereupon proceed to fix the just and reasonable rates, tolls, and charges for

such services which may be charged for two years from the date of the filing of such

petition and thereafter until changed, altered, or modified by the legislative authority

of such municipal corporation or further order of the commission upon like application.
