Article 42. Irrigation District Law of 1921
Section 37-42-139. Dissolution of district - election.

(1) A plan for the dissolution of any irrigation district organized under this article may be submitted to the landowners at a special election held for that purpose. Such plan must provide for the payment of all district debts and liabilities and the disposition of district assets. If the landowners authorize such dissolution by an affirmative vote of a majority of the entire voting strength of the district, the directors shall proceed to carry out the plan so authorized and, upon the accomplishment thereof, shall file their certificate of such fact with the county clerk and recorder of each county wherein any part of said district is situated.

(2) Thereupon, the district shall be considered at an end; except that, within fifteen days from the date of the vote of the landowners authorizing such dissolution, any landowner or creditor may contest the validity of such proceeding or the legality of the proposed plan of dissolution by action in the district court of the county wherein the district office is situated, and, pending determination in such cause, no action shall be taken by the board of directors thereunder. If any funds remain in the hands of the district treasurer to the credit of such district after its dissolution, such funds shall be distributed among the landowners in proportion to the acreage of their lands within the district.
