§ 61-07-28 — Procuring water supply from district outside of state - Validity and legality

When any irrigation district shall find it necessary to procure its supply of water for the
irrigation of the lands within the district from outside the boundaries of this state, such district
may enter into an agreement or contract with any state board, commission, or bureau, or with
any person, association, company, corporation, limited liability company, or irrigation district,
having the control and jurisdiction over the water of such other state, for water rights therein or
for supplying the district with water sufficient for its irrigation needs. The making of such contract
and the issuance of bonds or improvement warrants and the levying of assessments, or other
method agreed upon for the payment of rights, franchises, or water charges to obtain the

required supply of water shall be deemed valid, and of full force and effect, and shall have the
same validity and legality as though the same rights and franchises existed wholly within this
state.
