    When there is unincorporated territory containing less than one hundred acres and having at least eighty percent of the boundaries of such area contiguous to two ((sewer districts or contiguous to a sewer district and a water)) municipal corporations providing sewer service, one of which is either a sewer or water district, the ((board of commissioners of one)) legislative authority of either of the ((districts)) contiguous municipal corporations may resolve to annex such territory to that ((district)) municipal corporation, provided a majority of the ((board of commissioners)) legislative authority of the other ((sewer or water district)) contiguous municipal corporation concurs.  The ((district)) municipal corporation resolving to annex such territory may proceed to effect the annexation by complying with RCW 56.24.180 through 56.24.200.  For purposes of this section, "municipal corporation" means a water district, sewer district, city, or town.
