Colorado Revised Statutes Title 37. Water and Irrigation § 37-29-101. Dissolution--procedure

Whenever a majority of the owners of land within a drainage district representing also a majority of the whole number of acres of land within the district petitions the board of directors to call a special election for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors of said drainage district a proposition to dissolve such district, it is the duty of such board of directors, upon proof that all claims and bills of the district of every kind or nature whatsoever have been fully paid, to call an election for the purpose of submitting the question of the dissolution of such district to the qualified voters thereof and to cause a notice setting forth the object of such election to be posted in the office of the district and in six public places within such district and to be published in some newspaper of general circulation and published in each county in which any portion of said district may lie for a period of thirty days prior to said election. Said notice shall set forth the time and place for holding said election in each precinct within said district. It is the duty of the board of directors to prepare ballots to be used at such elections on which shall be written or printed the words “For dissolution” and “Against dissolution” and to appoint judges and clerks of elections as in other elections of the district. No district shall be dissolved which has claims, bills, bonds, or indebtedness outstanding or unpaid, and the attempted dissolution of such a district shall be null, void, and of no force and effect.
