Each governing body shall cause a certified copy of all proceedings taken for the consolidation to be filed with its auditor or clerk, with the secretary of state, and in the office of the register of deeds of the county, who shall record the copy. When the certified copies are filed, the consolidation is effective and complete, and the consolidated sanitary district has all of the powers conferred upon a sanitary district by this chapter, for the purpose of the construction or acquisition and operation of sewer facilities or both water and sewer facilities, as authorized by the voters.
