1. In all cases wherein such sewerage
systems, light systems, water systems, water and light systems, or sewerage,
light and water systems are constructed or acquired under the provisions of NRS 710.400 to 710.590 , inclusive, in such unincorporated
towns, and those towns are afterward incorporated, the control and management
of those systems is vested in their municipal governments.
2. In case the towns are incorporated
while the work of construction is in progress, the work must nevertheless be
carried on to completion by the board of county commissioners, and, when
completed, the system must be turned over to the city government as soon as it
has been organized, and it has control and management thereof. The city
government shall then provide for the payment of the principal and interest on
the bonds, when the revenues from the service of those systems are insufficient
therefor, by the levy and collection of taxes as provided in NRS 710.400 to 710.590 , inclusive.
3. The county treasurer has custody of the
sewerage, light, water, light and water, or sewerage, light and water funds,
and the county treasurer shall turn those funds over to the city treasurer
immediately upon the qualification of the city treasurer. The bonds, principal
and interest must then be paid by the city government in all respects as
prescribed for their payment by the board of county commissioners acting in
behalf of the city. Whatever may be the designation of the board of control of
the incorporated city, it succeeds to all the powers and privileges conferred
on the board of county commissioners by the provisions of NRS 710.400 to 710.590 , inclusive.
