§ 37-43-141 — Levy of tolls or charges

The board of directors of any irrigation
district within the state may annually or otherwise levy and assess such tolls or
charges as may be necessary to raise moneys for the maintenance and operation or
payment of existing unfunded indebtedness of the district, said tolls or charges to
be levied and assessed pro rata upon each acre of land within the district for the
use of water for the irrigation thereof. By resolution, the board may refuse to deliver
water to any land within such district when the owner thereof, within such time as
may be fixed by such resolution, fails or refuses to pay in cash, to the secretary or
treasurer of the district, such tolls or charges. Where a district takes over by deed
or assignment or otherwise any irrigation system or works, or parts thereof, either
upon reorganization or otherwise, the board of directors of any such district in like
manner may collect any and all assessments theretofore levied for maintenance
and operation by its predecessor in the ownership or operation of such system,
whether such predecessor is a district or a mutual company, if such assessments
are assigned to and become the property of the district seeking to collect the same.
