WATER CODE

SECTION 42725-42729

42725. If the vote at either of the elections prescribed in this
part is adverse to the report, the proposed project is abandoned.
Thereafter the district shall continue, and the original project
shall be and remain in the same full force and effect, as though no
proceedings had been taken under this chapter.

42726. If the vote at either of the elections is favorable to the
new report, nothing further shall be done toward completion of the
former project so modified or eliminated. If there is any uncalled
portion of principal or interest of any outstanding assessment
already levied and in effect to carry out the former project, the
board shall, by resolution, cancel so much thereof as is not required
for a refund to landowners who have already paid all or a part of
their pro rata share of the portion to be canceled. The board shall
specify in this resolution the portion of the assessment levied
against each tract which is to be canceled, describing each tract as
described in the assessment roll or by the number of the tract as
used in the assessment roll. These and subsequent proceedings under
this section shall be governed by Sections 47806, 47807, 47808,
47809, and 47810.

42727. To the extent that the district is indebted or has any
outstanding liabilities at the time of adoption of the report,
whether contingent or otherwise, the board shall levy, by order from
time to time, special assessments upon the land in the district, pro
rata according to the rate of assessment per acre established in the
original assessment, to raise funds to pay the debts and liabilities.
The provisions of Chapters 3 and 5 of Part 9 of this division shall
be applicable to such assessments.

42728. If, after all debts and liabilities have been paid, any
funds remain on hand which have been collected under the original
assessment or any funds are subsequently collected through
redemptions from any sale for any delinquent call on the original
assessment, such funds shall, unless distributed to landowners
pursuant to Section 46675, be credited pro rata to the respective
tracts of land in the district on the assessment roll for the
original assessment according to the rate of assessment per acre
established in the original assessment and thereafter shall be
applied on account for the benefit of the tracts of land against any
call on any assessment levied upon the tracts through proceedings
authorized under this article.

42729. If for any reason funds are not available to the district to
defray all expenses under this article, as estimated by the board to
be incurred for the general benefit of the district up to the time
that a new assessment for the new project has been levied and become
available under Chapter 2 of Part 9 of this division, the board may
levy assessments from time to time pursuant to Chapter 1 of Part 9 of
this division to raise the necessary funds to defray such expenses.
