If the original assessment is insufficient to provide for the complete reclamation of district lands, or if further assessments are required to provide for the protection, maintenance and repair of the reclamation works, the board may file with the clerk of the board of supervisors two copies of the reclamation plan and a statement of the work done, or to be done, and its estimated cost, and the same proceedings shall be had as provided for an original reclamation plan.

If the initial funds gathered to improve district lands fall short, or if more money is needed for ongoing upkeep of the reclamation projects, the relevant board can submit new plans and cost estimates to the board of supervisors' clerk.

If there's still money owed on bonds or refunding bonds even after the initial assessment meant to pay them, the board of supervisors must arrange for another assessment to cover what's left unpaid, both principal and interest.
If any part of the principal or interest of bonds or refunding bonds is unpaid after enforcement of the assessment securing such bonds, the board of supervisors shall order an additional or supplemental assessment to be made as provided in Section 51300, sufficient to pay the unpaid principal and interest.

Section § 51301.5
This law says that if a board decides to redeem bonds early and there's an extra fee (premium) for doing that, and the district doesn't have the funds to cover this fee, the board must ask the board of supervisors to create an extra tax assessment to cover the cost of the premium.
Whenever the board shall call for redemption any bonds which by their terms are subject to call and redemption at the option of the district at a premium, then, unless district funds are otherwise available for payment of such premium, the board shall request the board of supervisors to order an additional or supplemental assessment to be made as provided in Section 51300 sufficient to pay the premium on the bonds so called for redemption.
