§ 10004 Municipal Utility Land Authority

• •Cities can buy, sell, or trade land and rights anywhere, not just inside city limits.
• •Cities can run public utilities beyond their borders if it serves the municipality or its residents.
• •The law covers services such as water, electricity, and other utilities.

A city wants to build a water pipeline that runs into a neighboring town to bring water to its residents.

Because the pipeline is needed to supply water to the city's inhabitants, the city can acquire the land and operate the utility outside its limits under this statute.
