This law states that a district has the legal right to initiate lawsuits or be sued in courts and other legal settings, unless there is another law that says differently.

This law allows a district to take legal action regarding water rights. Specifically, this means the district can start, engage in, join, or settle court cases related to the ownership or use of water within its area. This can apply whether the water is for the district's needs or benefits people or land in the district.

This law section explains that if there is a contract or financial obligation like bonds or notes related to certain services in water management, someone can challenge its validity in court. To do this, they must use a specific legal procedure laid out in another part of the law.

If you want to make a claim for money or damages against the district, you need to follow the rules set out in specific parts of the Government Code. However, there might be other statutes or regulations that also apply to these claims.

This law gives districts the authority to engage in legal actions related to water rights within their area. They can start, join, or defend lawsuits to represent the people and properties in their district. This includes actions to address disputes over water rights, protect water quality and quantity, prevent unauthorized water use, and stop illegal water exportation from the district.

This law states that if an officer, agent, or employee of a district is found liable while acting in their official role (unless they actually committed fraud or acted with malice), the district itself will cover any judgment against them. The officer, agent, or employee does not have to pay the district back for this.

This law section explains that certain water districts (Elsinore Valley, Eastern, Western, and Metropolitan) are not liable for claims from customers of the County Water Company of Riverside for issues related to water operation or supply during a specific interim period. They're also not liable for incidents before this time. The interim period starts when a temporary water connection is made or when an agreement is signed to serve these customers. This period either ends when permanent facilities are in place or by December 31, 2015, whichever occurs first, but can be extended by the State Department of Public Health if needed. During this interim, provided water must meet quality standards, and any required conditions must be followed, such as notifying fire officials and maintaining system pressure. However, this does not exempt anyone from following federal or state water quality laws or protect against certain legal actions.
