§ 8162 Flood District Bond Liability

Key Takeaways

  • •If a flood control district takes over, it must pay the old drainage district's debts.
  • •This includes paying back loans (bonds) and their interest.
  • •The flood control district is now responsible, not the old drainage district.

Example

A small town has a drainage district that owes money for old projects. A bigger flood control district takes over the area.

Now, the flood control district must pay back the old loans and interest, not the small town’s old drainage district.
