Any foreign municipal corporation duly chartered and organized under the
laws of its state, and owning a water plant and having some part thereof
within the state of Kansas, may apply to the district court or judge
thereof, of any county in which said foreign municipal corporation has
located any part of its water plant to condemn land for the same, or as
much as may be desired, as well as a route for such proposed water mains as
may be located by such foreign municipal corporation, and also such land as
may be deemed necessary for engine houses, pumping stations, workshops,
water stations, intakes, reservoirs, filtering basins, tunnels, shafts and
conduits for conveying water, together with all necessary means, ways and
devices for building, constructing, maintaining, repairing and operating
the same, and materials for the construction sufficient to enable said
foreign municipal corporation to construct and repair its plant, mains and
stations, and right of making proper drains, which said lands or rights
therein may be condemned as provided by law: Provided, Such foreign
municipal corporation shall not be permitted to condemn any lands actually
used by a water company in serving a municipal corporation in the state of
Kansas, when the taking of the lands so sought to be condemned would
interfere with the actual operation of such water company's plant.
