This law allows a district to acquire all types of property, like land or items, through various means such as buying, receiving as a gift, leasing, or other methods. The district can then use, enjoy, lease out, or get rid of this property in any way it sees fit.

This law explains what a district can do regarding waterworks and hydroelectric power. It allows a district to acquire, build, maintain, and operate water systems and their components, like pipelines and reservoirs, to supply water to the community. It also grants the district the authority to upgrade or repair any existing waterworks. Additionally, the district can develop and manage facilities for generating and distributing hydroelectric power.

This law allows a district to lease, and potentially buy later, water-related infrastructure such as storage, transportation, or distribution facilities. These can include existing waterworks or entire water systems, and they can lease from individuals, public corporations, or agencies.

This law gives a district the power to use eminent domain, which means they can take private property if needed to supply water to the area. If they do this, they must not only pay for the property taken or damaged but also cover the costs to move, rebuild, or relocate any public utility structures like railways, pipes, or cables to a new spot.

This law allows a district to use eminent domain, which means they can legally take private property if it's needed for the district's operations. If they take property, they must also pay for any necessary removal or relocation of existing public utility structures like wires or pipelines. However, a district can't use eminent domain to take property outside its boundaries without getting permission from the county board, unless it's for acquiring rights-of-way within or next to a county where the district already has territory. In such cases, they must notify the county board two weeks ahead of time, specifying the property they need.

This law allows a district to build structures like waterworks across various types of thoroughfares, such as streams, streets, or railways. However, during construction, the district must ensure the safety of people and property. Once construction is complete, they must restore the crossing areas to their original condition or ensure they're still functional and safe.

When a district's construction projects, like canals or pipelines, need to intersect or cross a company's land, the company must work with the district to create these crossings and allow the necessary access rights.

This law allows a district to place, build, and upkeep district infrastructures along streets, highways, and state-owned lands, similar to city privileges. For redevelopment areas as per certain codes, districts don’t need local permits, as long as their work supports development in certain unincorporated territories meeting specific criteria, such as being at least 100 acres, surrounded by a city, and zoned for commercial or industrial use. Furthermore, local laws on building, zoning, and other regulations don't apply when districts provide facilities for development in these areas.

This law states that when a district uses a public highway that is or becomes a state highway, it must follow specific guidelines outlined in another part of the law known as Chapter 3 of Division 1 in the Streets and Highways Code.

This law states that a publicly owned utility cannot start providing water services to land in a municipal water district that has existing debt from bonds or contracts with the U.S. for similar services, unless the district's voters approve the debt, and the district is prepared to provide the service.

However, there are exceptions: If the area has fewer than 12 voters, the utility can provide service with the consent of the majority of property owners and the district's approval. If there are 12 or more voters, the service can start if a majority approves it in a special election, conducted like an initiative measure.

If a publicly owned utility starts providing water services to land already served by a municipal water district, which has outstanding debts covered by water revenue, the utility must pay the district the amount it would have used from water revenue for those debts.
