the district, including an ordinance fixing charges for the
furnishing of commodities or services, the district may correct any
violation of an ordinance of the district. The district may also
petition the superior court for the issuance of a preliminary or
permanent injunction, or both, as may be appropriate, restraining any

within the jurisdiction of the district in order to investigate
possible violations of an ordinance of the district. The

the property or, if consent is refused, with a warrant duly issued
pursuant to the procedures set forth in Title 13 (commencing with
Section 1822.50) of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, except
that, notwithstanding Section 1822.52 of the Code of Civil Procedure,
the warrant shall be issued only upon probable cause.
(c) The district shall notify the county or city building
inspector, county health inspector, or other affected county or city
employee or office, in writing, within a reasonable time if an actual
violation of a district, city, or county ordinance is discovered
during the investigation.
