Acquisition of property.
(1)For the purpose of protecting property within and beyond their limits from floods or

maintaining and operating walls or other barriers with necessary appurtenances and
equipment beyond the boundaries of the city.
(2)For that purpose every city may acquire all necessary and convenient land, rights of
way and other property therefor by gift, purchase or condemnation, and cause the
walls or barriers and their appurtenances and equipment to be erected, maintained
and operated. The city is authorized to accept upon such terms as the governing
