Wyoming Statutes Title 41. Water § 41-7-815. Sale or mortgage of irrigation works

Any project created under the provisions of this act shall not be sold to private interests. No irrigation works, power plant, or system owned by the district shall be sold, alienated or mortgaged by the district, except under the following circumstances, to wit: if, in order to borrow money from the federal government or from any of its agencies or from the state of Wyoming, it shall become necessary that the district mortgage or otherwise hypothecate any or all its said property or assets to secure the payment of a loan or loans made to it by or from such source or sources, the district is hereby authorized and empowered to mortgage or hypothecate such property and assets for such purpose. Nothing in this section contained shall prevent the district from assigning, pledging, or otherwise hypothecating its revenues, incomes, receipts or profits to secure the payment of indebtedness to the federal government or any agency thereof, or the state of Wyoming, provided, that the state of Wyoming shall never pledge its credit or funds, or any part thereof, for the payment or settlement of any indebtedness or obligation whatsoever of any district created under the provisions of this act; and provided further, that if any district created under this act shall execute and deliver a mortgage or trust deed to secure the payment of any moneys borrowed by it for the purposes herein authorized, it may be provided in such mortgage or trust deed that the same may be foreclosed upon default and that a receiver may be appointed by any court of competent jurisdiction with such authority as may be provided for in such mortgage or trust deed.
