• Jurisdiction: Wyoming
• Title 41: Water
• Ch. 9: DRAINAGE DISTRICTS
• Art. 4: JOINT OPERATION WITH MUNICIPALITIES

Text

Whenever any incorporated town, city or village lies in whole or
in part within the boundaries of any drainage district now
organized, or which may hereafter be organized in the state of
Wyoming, the commissioners of said district may enter into an
agreement with said town, city or village under the terms of
which said agreement, said town, city or village may agree to
operate, maintain, repair or extend any drainage works lying
wholly or in part within said town, city or village; and when
such agreement has been entered into, said drainage district
shall be relieved from the expense of operation, maintenance,
extension or repairs of such drains except where any portion of
the district discharges its water through the outlets diverted
through said town, city or village in which case the drainage
district shall assist in maintaining the said drain on a basis
of land drained into said drain and said town, city or village
and the individual freeholders within said town, city or village
shall be relieved from the payment of assessments for operation,
maintenance, repairs or extension levied by said drainage
district during the life of said agreement. Such town, city or
village shall thereafter levy each year, as a part of its
assessment for city purposes, such amount as shall be found
necessary to operate, maintain, extend or repair said drains in
the same manner as is now provided for assessments for sewerage;
provided, however, that any drain lying partly within said town,
city or village and partly without may, by agreement between
said commissioners by and with the consent of the bondholders
and said town, city or village, be jointly maintained by the
parties to such agreement.
