§ 12803 District Utility Control Limits

• •A district can't mess with or control a utility (like water or electricity) that's already run by another government group in the same area.
• •The district can only step in if the government group that owns the utility says it's okay.
• •Both sides have to agree on the rules before the district can do anything.

A city has its own water company. A new district is created in the same area and wants to take over the water company.

The new district can't just take over. It has to ask the city for permission first. If the city says yes, they both have to agree on how it will work.
