Sec. 11-128-8.
Any 2 or more cities or villages adjacent to each other by

the corporate authorities of each of the cities and villages, which created
the district. This board of trustees shall have the powers given to the
corporate authorities in this article, and the water district shall be a
body corporate to carry out the provisions of this Division 128. But notice
of any election held by such a water district under this Division 128 shall
be given in each city and village combining into the district, and if the
proposition does not carry by three-fourths of all electors voting on the
proposition in each city or village constituting the district, then the
proposed contract and tax have failed of ratification and are void.
