Sec. 9-1.
Authority
to consolidate.
Any 2 or more adjoining districts whose drainage or levee systems are
connected may merge and form a single consolidated district which shall
thereafter be subject to the provisions of this Act. For the purpose of
this Article, districts shall be considered as adjoining when any portion
of their boundaries are contiguous or overlap. When the proposed
consolidated district will include more than 2 districts, it shall not be
necessary for each district to adjoin each of the other districts, but it
shall be sufficient if each district adjoins one of the other districts.
