§ acts:saved-40. (101)

31. The board of water commissioners shall have use of real property needed for water

reserve and water supply purposes. No real property or interest therein shall be leased, sold or disposed of or easement

given or contract thereafter authorized for purposes other than the operation of the

waterworks or water supply system unless the board of water commissioners shall determine

that the sale, lease, easement or disposition can be made without impairing the operation

and function, present or anticipated of the water supply and water reserve system

for the people of the city. No such lease, sale, disposition or easement or contract therefor shall be authorized

by the city council unless and until notice 30 days in advance thereof has been filed

in writing with the secretary of the board to afford opportunity by the board to make

any appropriate determination and advise the city council thereof. Real property or interests therein acquired as part of the water supply or water

reserve system shall be held in the name of the city and such acquisition shall be

made upon recommendation of the board of water commissioners and adoption of an ordinance

concurring therein by the city council.
