(b) Each of the resulting districts shall have the authority to contract with one another for the provision of water, wastewater, and such other matters as the board of directors of each of the districts deems appropriate.
(c) Each of the resulting districts shall assume the obligations of the original district under any agreements or resolutions consenting to the creation of the original district imposed by any municipality having jurisdiction over such creation to the extent that such agreements and resolutions (i) are applicable, (ii) are not contrary to any other law or the provisions of this chapter, and (iii) do not impose obligations that limit the district's powers and authority to issue bonds for any purpose authorized under this chapter. Any such obligations that so limit the district's powers and authority to issue bonds for any purpose authorized under this chapter are void.
