§ 4927 Sewer District Dissolution Process

Key Takeaways

  • •If a smaller sewer district is completely inside a bigger sanitary district, the smaller one can be closed down.
  • •The bigger district must promise to do the same job as the smaller one.
  • •All the money and property from the smaller district go to the bigger one.
  • •The bigger district also takes over any debts or unfinished work from the smaller one.

Example

A small town has a tiny sewer district that only handles a few streets. Later, a bigger sanitary district grows and covers the whole town, including those streets.

The bigger district can vote to close the tiny one if they promise to keep doing the same sewer work. The tiny district’s tools, money, and any bills it owes will then belong to the bigger district.

§ 4927 Sewer District Dissolution Process

If all of the district is included within a sanitary district, the district is dissolved upon the filing with the Secretary of State of a resolution adopted by the district board of the sanitary district and approved by the board of supervisors which states that the sanitary district is able to provide the same service as is being provided by the sewer maintenance district and declares that the sewer maintenance district is dissolved. A copy of the resolution shall be filed with the board of supervisors. Upon the dissolution of the sewer maintenance district, the property and funds which are held by the county for the sewer maintenance district vest in the sanitary district and the county shall convey such property and pay over such funds, to the sanitary district. The sanitary district shall also succeed to any liability or outstanding obligation of the sewer maintenance district at the time of its dissolution. (Added by Stats. 1961, Ch. 938.)
