§ 22099 Drainage Exemption For Land

Key Takeaways

  • •The district doesn't have to provide drainage for certain lands.
  • •This applies if the district is not responsible for seepage or flooding due to legal reasons like agreements, laws, or court decisions.
  • •If the landowner has already agreed or a court has decided the district isn't liable, no drainage is required.

Example

A farmer's land gets flooded, but years ago, the farmer signed a paper saying the district isn't responsible for flooding.

The district doesn't have to fix the flooding or provide drainage because the farmer already agreed they wouldn't be liable.
