Section § 33160
This law explains that when a storm water district merges with another district, the resulting district will include a special part called the 'Storm Water Unit.' This unit consists of all the land that was part of the original storm water district, along with any additional land added and minus any land removed following the merger, as permitted by law.

Section § 33162
This law states that land can be added to or removed from a storm water unit in the same way that land is added to or taken out of county water districts. This process does not follow the rules set by the Storm Water District Act of 1909.
Land may be added to or excluded from the storm water unit in a manner as nearly as may be as land is added to or excluded from county water districts as provided in this division and not in the manner provided in the Storm Water District Act of 1909.
