under this chapter, upon the petition of the board of supervisors or other
governing body of the county * or of twenty-five per centum of the
qualified voters residing within the limits of the territory proposed to be
severed, may make an order altering the boundaries of and reducing any
sanitary district created under the provisions of this chapter, which
order shall prescribe the metes and bounds of the territory to be severed;
provided, however, that no such order shall be made if any bonds of the
sanitary district have theretofore been issued and have not been redeemed

sanitary district, or if any system or systems have been established and
are in operation under the provisions of this chapter as amended, in the
territory proposed to be severed as of the date of the petition requesting
