357.34 CONVEYANCE OF DISTRICT TO CITY. Where a city is situated wholly or partly within a benefited water district or the source of supply for such benefited water district is a municipal water system, the board of supervisors having jurisdiction of said benefited water district, at the request of the trustees of said benefited water district, may, by proper resolution, convey unto said city any and all rights which said board of supervisors may have in and to said benefited water district. Said conveyance, however, shall not become effective until all existing obligations against said district have been completely and fully discharged and such conveyance accepted and confirmed by a resolution of the council of said city or of the board of waterworks trustees of said city if there be one, specially passed for such purpose. Upon acceptance, the district, including the plant and distribution system, as well as all funds and credits shall become the property of said city and be operated and used by it to the same extent as if acquired under such provisions of law under which said city is then operating its waterworks. Also, the offices of the trustees as provided in this chapter shall be abolished upon acceptance by the city and their duties as such shall immediately cease.
