Determination of disputes as to territories served The board of public utility commissioners shall have power, after hearing, upon notice, to determine between public utilities supplying electric light, heat or power, and between a municipality and any public utility supplying electric light, heat or power within the corporate limits of such municipality, questions in dispute as to territories to be served. Pending the hearing the board may enjoin the construction of facilities for such supply.
