§ 22258 District Water Service Regulation

Water Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•Some water districts must give water to people outside their area if those people had the right to that water before the district got it.
•The district can make rules about how those outside people use the water.
•This only applies if the water was meant for those people in the first place.

Example

A small town gets its water from a nearby district. Before the district took over, the town had the right to use that water.

The district can't just cut off the town's water. But it can say things like, 'You can only water your lawn on certain days.'
