This law allows a district to take any actions considered necessary or helpful to achieve the goals for which it was originally established.

If a district owes money, it can't reduce or cancel its debts without the creditors' approval. However, it can negotiate a deal where creditors agree to accept less than the full amount. To pay off the debt, the district can charge landowners in the district an assessment, which is like a special tax.

This law allows a district's board to set and collect charges and fees for services through a public hearing. They must provide notice by publishing it in a local newspaper for two weeks beforehand. The board can decide when payments are due, impose penalties up to 10%, and charge interest on unpaid fees. The district can take legal action to recover past due charges or include them in ongoing fees. Money from these charges can replace or add to other revenue sources. Initially, a hearing is needed to set charges, but they can reduce them later without another hearing. If the charges and fees were properly established, they can continue at the same rate annually unless changes are proposed that would require additional procedures.

This section allows small districts near the Stockton Ship Channel, specifically those under 100 acres, to manage sewage and waste by building and maintaining necessary facilities. To do this, the district must get approval through a petition signed by a majority of local voters. After receiving approval, the district needs to create a plan and estimate the costs, which can include already existing facilities. Payments can be made to landowners for these facilities. These efforts aim to protect water quality, especially given the recreational use of nearby islands. This law is designed for these specific districts because similar conditions do not apply to most reclamation districts, hence the special legislation.

Each year, by August 1st, the district must inform the county auditor of the amounts to be collected. The county can charge a fee for handling these collections.

Proceeds from electricity sales are used to pay back the construction costs and for other district purposes. This law applies only to Reclamation Districts No. 1004 (in conjunction with Colusa County) and No. 108 and is set to expire on January 1, 2026.
