57500. On and after the effective date of a consolidation, the
consolidated district succeeds to all of the powers, rights, duties,
obligations, functions, and properties of all predecessor districts
which have been united or joined into the consolidated district. The
territory of a consolidated district, all inhabitants within that
territory, and all persons entitled to vote by reason of residing or
owning land within the territory are subject to the jurisdiction of
the consolidated district and, except as otherwise provided in this
chapter, have the same rights and duties as if the consolidated
district had been originally formed under the principal act.

57501. No payment for the use, or right of use, of any property,
real or personal, acquired or constructed by any predecessor district
shall be required by reason of the consolidation of the district
with other predecessor districts.

57502. The territory of a consolidated district shall be liable for
payment of principal, interest, and any other amounts which become
due on account of any outstanding or then authorized but thereafter
issued bonds, including revenue bonds, or other contracts or
obligations of all predecessor districts, and are subject to the
levying or fixing and collection of any of the following which may be
necessary to provide for payment:
(a) Taxes or assessments.
(b) Service charges, rentals, or rates.
(c) Both taxes or assessments and service charges, rentals, or
rates.
However, only the territory within an improvement district shall
be liable for any payment required on account of any bonds, including
revenue bonds, or other contracts previously authorized or issued
by, or on behalf of, the improvement district.
