§ 1757a. Validation of consolidated water or sewer districts and bonds voted for construction
(a) No action shall be brought directly or indirectly attacking, questioning, or in any
manner contesting the legality of the formation, or the existence as a body corporate
and politic, of any consolidated water or sewer district created pursuant to chapter
91 or 105, respectively, of this title, after six months from the date of the recording
in the office of the Secretary of State of the certificate required by section 3342 or 3673 of this title, as the case may be; nor shall any action be brought directly or indirectly attacking,
questioning, or in any manner contesting the legality or validity of bonds, issued
or unissued, voted by any such district or by any other municipal corporate entity,
after six months from the date upon which voters in any such district or other municipal
corporate entity met pursuant to warning and voted affirmatively to issue bonds to
defray costs of sewer or water improvements or upon vote of a question of recission
thereof whichever occurs later.
(b) This section shall be liberally construed to effect the legislative purpose to validate
and make certain the legal existence of all consolidated water or sewer districts
in this State and the validity of bonds issued or authorized by consolidated or other
municipal corporate entities for water or sewer purposes, and to bar every right to
question in any manner the existence of any such district or other municipal corporate
entity or the validity of a bond voted by it for water or sewer purposes, and to bar
every remedy therefor notwithstanding any defects or irregularities, jurisdictional
or otherwise, after expiration of the six-month period. (Added 1975, No. 57, § 1, eff. April 18, 1975.)
