District since that time, and
WHEREAS, there are 500 or less resident freeholders residing
within the District and the Board of Directors of the Dogwood

services and has no outstanding bond or other legal indebtedness,

water service to residents of the District and therefore the

conducted, pursuant to the process established for the
dissolution of a sanitary district ;
