An agreement providing for a city to manage and operate both its own water system and a district's system was not an unconstitutional delegation of the legislative power of the district, according to a California appellate court. The court was satisfied that the agreement included sufficient safeguards or standards to assure that the city's performance as an operator would be controlled and that provision of efficient and economical service at uniform rates would be achieved.
