36455. Whenever, in the opinion of the board, the public interest
or convenience may require, the board may order the acquisition or
construction in, under, or upon the whole or any portion of any one
or more of the streets or public places of the district, or any
property or rights-of-way owned by the district, of any work or
improvement for the production, storage, transmission and
distribution of water for irrigation, domestic, industrial and
municipal purposes, or for collecting, treating, and disposing of
sewage, waste and storm waters, and provide that the cost thereof
shall be assessed upon any district to be assessed therefor, which
district need not be composed of lands contiguous to each other.

36455.1. The work or improvement shall be done and the cost thereof
assessed and collected in accordance with the procedures of the
Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 (commencing with Section 5000) of
the Streets and Highways Code), the Municipal Improvement Act of
1913 (Division 12 (commencing with Section 10000) of the Streets and
Highways Code), or the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10
(commencing with Section 8500) of the Streets and Highways Code).

36455.2. Such acts or any of them may be used in the discretion of
the board of directors in the construction of any work to be done or
improvements made under this act and in the levying of assessments
and reassessments and the issuing of bonds to pay for costs and
expenses of the work and improvements done or to be done hereunder.

36455.3. As additional notice a certified copy of any assessment
and the diagram attached thereto issued under any of said acts shall
be recorded in the office of the county surveyor if the improvement
district or any part thereof is in unincorporated territory and with
the superintendent of streets of the city or cities if the
improvement district or any part thereof is in incorporated territory
and shall remain an official record in the office in which it may be
filed. Such filing, however, shall not affect or qualify the
district record thereof.

36455.4. A district may enter into an agreement with any
municipality within the district whereby any work or improvement
constructed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter may be
transferred to the municipality for operation and maintenance. The
power to make such an agreement is conditioned upon a finding by the
board that the residents of the district would be better served by
such municipal operation and maintenance.
