Latest version.

The commission may provide for a water system and an adequate supply of water for the use of the city and its inhabitants, provided the same is approved by two-thirds of the electors voting thereon at a general or special election. Such water supply may be secured from some other municipality or by the establishment and maintenance of a water works pumping station. If water is furnished by the city to the inhabitants thereof, the commission shall have power by ordinance to provide for water rates and the enforcement of the payment thereof, and may provide that such water rates shall be a lien upon the property. The commission may also make such rules and regulations in regard to such water works system and the use of water, as may be deemed expedient.
