(1) An
election submitting the proposition of dissolution of the district may be initiated by
the filing of a copy of a resolution adopted by three-fourths of all the members of
the board of directors of such district requesting such an election or by the filing of
a petition requesting such election. Such resolution or petition shall be filed in the
district court which formed said district.

(2) Any such petition so filed shall be accompanied by a good and sufficient
bond for five hundred dollars with not less than two sureties approved by the court,
and, if a majority of the qualified electors do not vote for dissolution in the election
specified in this article, the amount of such bond shall be forfeited to the district,
otherwise the same shall be discharged.

(3) If the valuation for assessment of irrigated land together with
improvements thereon within said district when formed is in excess of twenty
million dollars, such petition shall bear signatures of any owners of irrigated land
equal in number to two-thirds or more of the number of such type of owners
required by section 37-45-109, upon a petition for the formation of such a district.
Such irrigated land shall be situated within the limits of the district and shall not be
embraced within the incorporated limits of any city or town. Said petition shall also
bear the signatures of any owners of nonirrigated land or land embraced within the
incorporated limits of a city or town equal in number to two-thirds or more of the
number of such type of owners required by said section upon a petition for the
formation of such a district, said land to be situated within the limits of the district.

(4) If the valuation for assessment of irrigated land and improvements
thereon within such district when formed is less than twenty million dollars, said
petition shall contain the same number and type of signatures required by section
37-45-109 upon petitions for the formation of such a district. In either case the
petition shall set forth opposite each signature the description of the land and the
valuation for assessment thereof together with any improvements. Similar petitions
or duplicate copies of the same petition may be filed together and shall be
regarded as one petition. No petition with the requisite signatures shall be declared
void on account of alleged defects, but the court may permit the petition to be
amended from time to time to conform to the facts by correcting errors in
descriptions, valuation, or any other particular.
