48-1791. Initial general plan of works for
district
A. Immediately upon qualifying, the first board of directors shall investigate the
different ways by which power can be brought into or generated within or without the
district in such a manner as to be efficiently distributed to the users for irrigation
purposes. The board shall determine what kind of power is most efficient and economical
and in what manner and by what means it can be secured.
B. For the purpose of bringing hydroelectric or other kind of power into the
district, if it can be more efficiently generated or procured at some point outside the
district, the board of directors may construct lines, conduits and necessary equipment or
other means of bringing such power into the district, and such other construction, plants
and equipment as in the judgment of the board is necessary or useful for the purpose of
generating or otherwise producing or procuring the power and making it available to the
users of the district.
C. For the purpose of procuring power, the district may undertake and complete all
necessary or useful construction outside the district but it may not perform construction
work for the purpose of delivering the power outside the district.
D. Having determined upon a general plan, the board of directors shall determine
from reliable estimates the character and amount of construction which the board has
determined upon as necessary to carry out the general plan.
