No municipal corporation, shall directly or indirectly, lease, sell, alien or dispose of any
waterworks, water rights, or sources of water supply now, or hereafter to be owned or controlled
by it; but all such waterworks, water rights and sources of water supply now owned or hereafter
to be acquired by any municipal corporation, shall be preserved, maintained and operated by it for
supplying its inhabitants with water at reasonable charges: Provided, That nothing herein
contained shall be construed to prevent any such municipal corporation from exchanging

equal value, and to be devoted in like manner to the public supply of its inhabitants.
