WATER CODE

SECTION 42250-42252

42250. If the board proposes to acquire property for the purposes
or use of the district by purchase or lease, or in any manner other
than by condemnation proceedings, that fact shall be stated in its
report. A true copy of any instrument evidencing the proposed
acquisition of the property or the right to acquire it shall be made
a part of the report.

42251. Except where it is proposed to be acquired by eminent domain
proceedings, no property belonging to any water corporation which is
a public utility shall be acquired by a district, nor shall any
property of such public utility be included in the report of the
board unless and until the Public Utilities Commission has made its
order authorizing the sale and any abandonment or curtailment of
service by the public utility which would result from the acquisition
by the district of property of the public utility.

42252. A certified copy of any order of authority made by the
Public Utilities Commission shall be made a part of and filed with
the report of the board. Unless the order of the Public Utilities
Commission in effect finds and declares that the sale and abandonment
or curtailment of service of the public utility through the
acquisition of its properties by the district will be to the interest
of the consumers of the public utility and that the terms and
conditions of the acquisition of property of the public utility by
the district are fair, just, and equitable to the consumers of the
public utility, the report shall be insufficient for any of the
purposes of this division.
