This section states that unless there is a specific rule mentioned in this part of the law, the surviving water district will operate just like any other county water district. This includes how it is managed, how its leaders are chosen, and how it handles its money.

This section states that the surviving district, in addition to any current powers it has, will also assume all the powers and responsibilities of a storm water district as outlined in the Storm Water District Act of 1909. This means it inherits the authority and duties to manage storm water issues as specified in that Act.

This law states that the board of directors and officers of the surviving district will carry out all duties typically handled by the boards and officers of county water districts, as well as those of storm water district boards and their corresponding officers.

This law states that if there's a disagreement or inconsistency between the rules of the Storm Water District Act of 1909 and the rules outlined in this division, the rules in this division take priority and should be followed.

This section allows a surviving district to handle construction, operations, and maintenance related to stormwater projects. It can operate under the Storm Water District Act of 1909 or other legal provisions. The district can fund these activities through special assessments on land that benefits from them, or by imposing fees and charges as outlined in the California Constitution.

This law states that if a storm water district merges with another district, any lawsuits that were ongoing at the time of the merger can continue to proceed to final judgment. The lawsuit can continue in the name of the original storm water district or the district that remains after the merger can take its place in the lawsuit.

Once a merger is finalized, no legal actions or lawsuits can be started involving the storm water district or its leaders, such as trustees or officers.

After a merger involving either a storm water district or a county water district, any legal actions or proceedings related to their affairs will be handled by the district that remains after the merger.

This law states that after a merger between a storm water district and a county water district, the new, combined district takes on all the debt from both original districts. Bondholders and creditors can still pursue their claims against the new district just like they could have against the original separate districts.

The board of directors and officers of a surviving district are responsible for handling all tax-related tasks for paying off the outstanding debts of a storm water district. They must follow the rules set by the Storm Water District Act of 1909 for assessing, levying, and collecting these taxes. County officers and boards of supervisors also have similar duties to ensure the taxes are collected for debt payment as specified in the same Act.

This law allows a storm water district to decide how it will collect money needed for the upkeep of improvements. They can either charge the specific landowners who benefited directly from the improvements or spread the cost across the entire district through taxes. The decision can be made by the board through passing an ordinance.

This law section explains that land can be either added to or removed from a district that continues to exist. The process for doing so follows the same rules and effects as mentioned in other parts of this water district division.
