        357.25  MANAGEMENT BY TRUSTEES.         After the final acceptance of the work by the board of      supervisors, the management of the utility shall automatically go to      the three trustees previously appointed by the board of supervisors.      The trustees of a benefited water district located in a county with a      population of two hundred fifty thousand or less shall have power to      levy an annual tax not to exceed thirteen and one-half cents per      thousand dollars of assessed value of all taxable property in the      district, for the maintenance of the system.  However, the trustees      of a benefited water district located in a county with a population      of more than two hundred fifty thousand may levy an annual tax on the      taxable value of all taxable property in the district in an amount as      may be necessary for the maintenance of the system, with the approval      of the board of supervisors.  This levy shall be optional with the      trustees.  The trustees may purchase material and employ labor to      properly maintain and operate the utility.  The trustees shall be      allowed necessary expenses in the discharge of their duties, but      shall not receive any salary.
