SECTION 42250-42252
42250. If the board proposes to acquire property for the purposes or use of the district by purchase or lease, or in any manner other than by condemnation proceedings, that fact shall be stated in its report. A true copy of any instrument evidencing the proposed acquisition of the property or the right to acquire it shall be made a part of the report. 42251. Except where it is proposed to be acquired by eminent domain proceedings, no property belonging to any water corporation which is a public utility shall be acquired by a district, nor shall any property of such public utility be included in the report of the board unless and until the Public Utilities Commission has made its order authorizing the sale and any abandonment or curtailment of service by the public utility which would result from the acquisition by the district of property of the public utility. 42252. A certified copy of any order of authority made by the Public Utilities Commission shall be made a part of and filed with the report of the board. Unless the order of the Public Utilities Commission in effect finds and declares that the sale and abandonment or curtailment of service of the public utility through the acquisition of its properties by the district will be to the interest of the consumers of the public utility and that the terms and conditions of the acquisition of property of the public utility by the district are fair, just, and equitable to the consumers of the public utility, the report shall be insufficient for any of the purposes of this division.
