46A-7A-78. Contracts for acquisition or settlement of water rights--District acting for others. The board may enter into contracts with any interested parties for acquisition or settlement of any water rights on any stream system or groundwater system which affects the district or for administration of water rights or of waters of any stream system or groundwater system, whether by watermaster or otherwise. If, to make such contract efficiently operable for the benefit of the district, the board expressly finds that the district also should act for others, whether their lands and water rights are within or without the district, the district, with the written approval of any interested party for whom the district undertakes to act, may do so under the terms which are expressed in any such contract.
