    Sec. 5-106. Each public utility shall have an office in 
one of the cities, villages or incorporated towns in this

and shall keep in said office all such books, accounts, 
papers, records and memoranda as shall be ordered by the 
Commission to be kept within the State. The address of such 
office shall be filed with the Commission. No books, accounts,

with the audit or inspection of any books, accounts, papers, 
records and memoranda kept outside the State.
    In the case of a public utility that provides drinking
