Article 1. In General of California Water Code >> Division 21. >> Part 10. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 1.

The boundaries of a district may be changed to include additional land within the district as provided in this chapter, and the inclusion within a district of any land not contiguous thereto shall be deemed to effect a change of the boundaries of the district. No such change in the boundaries of a district shall impair or affect its organization, or its right in or to property, or any of its rights or privileges of whatsoever kind or nature; nor shall it affect, impair, or discharge any contract, obligation, lien, or charge for or upon which the district was or might become liable or chargeable had such change of its boundaries not been made.

When a district is the sole owner of any tract of land not within the boundaries of the district, the board, upon determining that the inclusion of that land will be for the best interests of the district, may by resolution declare that such land shall be included in the district. The inclusion of such land within the district is effective immediately upon the adoption of the resolution.

A guardian, executor, or administrator of an estate, who is appointed as such under the laws of this state, and who, as such guardian, executor, or administrator, is entitled to the possession of the lands belonging to the estate which he represents, may, on behalf of his ward or the estate which he represents, upon being authorized by the proper court, sign and acknowledge petition for the inclusion of lands, and may show cause, as provided in this chapter, why the boundaries of the district should not be changed.
