        357.26  DUTIES OF TRUSTEES.         It is anticipated that this law will usually be utilized to      finance a distribution system where the source of supply is without      the district, and not under its control, and that individuals within      the district will pay water rent to a municipality or corporation      without the district.  It is intended that the trustees may so      operate the utility as will best serve the users, and they are      expressly authorized to buy and sell water, to fix the rates to      consumers and make all contracts reasonable or necessary to      accomplish the purpose of this chapter and to carry on all the      operations incident to maintaining and operating said utility and to      the procuring and furnishing of water to the consumers therein.  If      the development of a source of supply is within the means of the      district, the trustees may install wells, tanks, meters and any other      equipment properly pertaining to operate it.
