. In addition to levying assessments or fixing tolls and
charges under Part 9 (commencing with Section 46000) of this
division, and in lieu either in whole or in part of calling such
assessments, the board may fix tolls or charges for the use of water,
including the use of groundwater, or for any other service of any
type or nature whether or not related to water use, rendered by the
district, and collect the same from all persons receiving the benefit
of the water or other services. The tolls and charges shall be
proportional, as nearly as practicable, to the services rendered.
Such tolls or charges may be levied and collected in order to
provide, in whole or in part, for the payment of amounts due to the
state, the department, any other district, or the United States,
whether for capital charges or service charges or otherwise, pursuant
to contracts made in accordance with Chapter 6 (commencing with
Section 44000) of this part, or in order to provide, in whole or in
part, for the payment of the costs of a project or the principal of
and interest on bonds or warrants of the district, or in order to
provide a bond reserve fund to secure bonds of the district, or in
order to provide for the operation and maintenance of a project
pursuant to Section 47180, or to obtain funds for any lawful purpose
of the district. The provisions of Sections 47181 to 47185,
inclusive, shall be applicable to any such tolls or charges.
