Abstract

This chapter of the Missouri Revised Statutes concerns public water supply districts. It states that it is intended to make possible, through public corporations, conveniences in the use of water, ample in quantity for all needful purposes and pure and wholesome in quality, furnished from common sources of supply to many inhabitants of our state now denied such privileges; and thereby promote public health and sanitation, make available conveniences not otherwise possible, and for the general public welfare. The districts to be formed under this chapter shall be known as public water supply districts of the counties in which districts are located, and shall be political corporations of the state of Missouri.
