WATER DISTRICTS -- Amends existing law to authorize water districts to charge certain fees.
WATER DISTRICTS
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This amendment addresses a change with water administration that arises when water right ownership records have not been updated by landowners. In such circumstances, the water district may accrue expenses related to title research and water ownership processes. This amendment authorizes members of a water district to adopt a resolution allowing the watermaster to pass these property-specific charges on to the landowner benefiting from the research.
