(4) In any case in which the municipality annexes less than the total service area of the district, the district may, at its sole discretion, retain ownership and control of any asset, within or without the annexed area, used by or intended to be used by residents within the district’s unannexed area or used or intended to be used to provide service to residents in the unannexed area of the district.

(5) Upon annexation of less than the total area of the district, the district’s boundaries must be modified, if at all, by the plan formulated pursuant to the provisions of §§ 5-3-300 through 5-3-315. The plan must specify the new boundaries of the district.
