The board may, after hearing, upon notice, by order in writing, prohibit or limit the payment of dividends by a public utility if the board, after such hearing, finds and determines that such public utility fails to comply with any order of the board ascertaining, determining and fixing reasonably adequate working capital or rates of depreciation or with any order requiring such public utility by adequate maintenance to keep its property and equipment in condition to furnish safe, adequate, and proper service.
