SECTION 46175-46179

46175. The commissioners appointed pursuant to Article 1 of this
chapter shall assess the costs of the project, or in the event the
board has divided the project into units of construction, the cost of
the unit or units specified for immediate construction, upon the
benefited land. In the event that the costs of the project are to be
paid in part from the proceeds of a loan from the United States, the
portion to be so paid may be separately assessed in the manner
provided in Section 44031, and the portion of the costs of the
project to be paid from other funds shall be assessed as provided in
this chapter.

46176. The commissioners shall apportion the cost in accordance
with the benefits that will accrue to each tract of land held in
separate ownership by reason of the expenditures of the money and the
completion of the project, or such units of it as have been
specified for immediate construction. The assessment shall be payable
in lawful money of the United States.

46177. If the project includes plans for the generation of electric
power, the commissioners shall ascertain the total cost of all the
properties which are necessary to be used in connection with the
generation of electric power as set forth in the plan, and shall also
ascertain what portion of the assessment of benefits to accrue to
each tract consists of costs of the properties which are necessary to
be so used.

46178. Where any tract of land consists of more than one section,
the apportionment to that tract of land shall be made according to
legal subdivisions or to other boundaries sufficient to identify the
land in subdivisions not greater than one section in area. Any
failure or defect in complying with this requirement shall not
invalidate the apportionment or the assessment.

46179. If the district project as adopted, as provided in Part 5
(commencing at Section 42200) of this division, provides that all of
the costs of the project are to be borne by certain designated lands
within the district and there is on file with the board a written
stipulation or agreement executed and acknowledged by the owners of
all of such designated lands wherein the landowners consent to an
apportionment of all costs of the project on their lands in a
particular manner, then all of such costs shall be apportioned by the
commissioners in accordance with such stipulation or agreement.
