Whenever the governing body or the board of public utilities of any city owning or operating an electric or gas utility, any part of which is defined as a public utility under K.S.A. 66-104, shall deem it necessary for the proper construction, operation and management of such public utility, said governing body or board shall have and are hereby granted the power of eminent domain outside the corporate limit of such city, within the area subject to the jurisdiction and control of the corporation commission.
