Abstract

This Chapter of Division 5 concerns the rights of cities in California to undertake waterworks: to a) protect the city from overflow by water; (b) to drain the city; (c) to secure an outlet for overflow water and drainage. The works may be situated within or without the territorial limits of the city. The Chapter sets out the procedures for the adoption of plans for such works by a city council and concerns financing of works by the issue of bonds. A city council may make all needed rules and regulations for acquisition, construction, and completion of the works.
