SDCL § 9-21A-4: Rural service district--Lands included.

The rural service district shall include only such platted or unplatted lands as in the judgment of the governing body at the time of the adoption of the ordinance are rural in character, are used or usable for agriculture, and are not developed for commercial, industrial, or urban residential purposes, and for these reasons are not benefited to the same degree as other lands by municipal services financed by general taxation. The rural service district may include lands which are not contiguous to one another. The ordinance may designate lands outside the municipality which, if annexed, shall be included within the rural service district.
