of Colorado or of the United States may be organized to cover and include areas
within the Colorado river water conservation district and may likewise embrace
territory within that district and partly out of the district. The board of directors,
whenever in their opinion such form of organization will help promote the local
interests or accomplish improvements for any part of said district, may recommend
the organization of any such type of organization.

(2) In addition to such forms of organization, whenever in the opinion of the
board of directors of said district it is feasible and necessary that ditches, canals,
reservoirs, or other works which benefit only a part of the district should be
constructed, a local improvement district or subdivision, or as many of such local
improvement districts as may be necessary, may be created as provided in this
article. Said local improvement district, when organized under the provisions of this
law, shall be designated as Water Users' Association No. ........ in the Colorado River
Water Conservation District, or as Special Improvement District No. ........ in the
Colorado River Water Conservation District. Each subdistrict shall be numbered
consecutively as created or organized. The board of directors, the engineers,
attorneys, secretary, and other officers, agents, and employees of the district, so
far as it may be necessary, shall serve in the same capacity for such subdivisions or
subdistricts. A contract and agreement between the main district and the
subdistrict may be made in the same manner as contracts and agreements between
two districts.
