(b) A municipally owned and operated utility under the jurisdiction
of the commission for approval of rates and charges shall file with the
commission, an annual report of the operation of said plant on forms to
be furnished by the commission, which forms are to be substantially the
same as for reports filed annually with the commission by public
utilities. Such annual reports shall remain in the office of said
commission as a public record. Whenever in this chapter public
utilities are required to make reports to the commission or are
otherwise subject to the commission, municipally owned utilities are
exempted from making such reports and are not under the jurisdiction
of the commission, except as otherwise provided.
