A district may construct any works along, under, or across any stream of water, watercourse, street, avenue, highway, railway, canal, ditch, or flume which the route of a pipeline or canal of the works may proceed along or across in a manner that will afford security for life and property.

Every company whose railroad is crossed by the works shall unite with the district in forming the crossing and shall grant the necessary privileges.
