Water Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•If the costs are more than the money collected from people involved, the extra cost gets split fairly among them.
•A board decides how to split the extra cost so everyone pays their fair share.
•This happens when the money from claimants isn't enough to cover all the expenses.

Example

A group of neighbors hire a lawyer to fix a shared fence. The lawyer's bill is $5,000, but they only collected $3,000 from the neighbors.

The extra $2,000 will be split fairly among all the neighbors by a board. So, if there are 10 neighbors, each might have to pay an extra $200.
