A. Municipalities, parishes and waterworks districts, including the Bayou Lafourche Fresh Water District, or any other political subdivision or governing authority may make contracts extending over a period not exceeding forty years, with any municipality, parish, waterworks district, other political subdivision, or governing authority, for the sale or purchase of an adequate supply of water, either treated or untreated, to meet their requirements on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the contract; and may own, construct, maintain and operate the necessary pipe lines, canals, viaducts, pole lines and equipment beyond their corporate limits or area to obtain or furnish such a source of supply. The rate at which such water is sold may be different for parties within the political subdivision furnishing the water as compared to parties of the same class located outside the political subdivision furnishing the water, provided that the rates charged the various classes outside the subdivision shall be equal and uniform and shall not be in combination with or contingent upon the rate for any other service. The governing authority of the political subdivision contracting for the sale or purchase of water may bind such political subdivision, themselves and their successors in office to carry out the terms of any such contract.

Municipalities may obtain water or electric current under contracts extending over a maximum period of fifteen years with private persons, on such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the parties. The governing authority of the municipality contracting for such water supply or electric current may bind the municipality, the governing authority and its successors in office to carry out the terms of any such contract.
