There is a newer version of the California Code
2005 California Water Code Sections 30200-30205 CHAPTER 1. PETITION FOR FORMATION
WATER CODESECTION 30200-30205
30200. The people of a county or two or more contiguous counties or of a portion of such county or counties, whether the portion includes unincorporated territory or not, may form a county water district pursuant to this part. 30201. The petition for formation shall describe the proposed boundaries of the proposed district and shall pray that it be incorporated into a district. 30202. The petition shall be signed by voters equal in number to at least 10 percent of the voters registered within the boundaries of the proposed district 30 days prior to the date the petition is filed. 30203. But, if one or more municipal corporations or part thereof is included in the proposed district, the petition shall be signed by at least 10 percent of the voters of each municipal corporation or part thereof and of the unincorporated territory included in the proposed district voting at the election. 30204. The petition may consist of any number of separate instruments. 30205. The petition for the formation of a county water district to include all or part of Pleasant Valley, Ventura County, may be signed by either: (a) The number of voters required by Section 30202, or (b) Ten percent of the owners of land within the proposed district. The provisions of this section shall apply only to the formation of a county water district in all or part of Pleasant Valley, Ventura County. The special provisions are necessary because in the Pleasant Valley area in Ventura County much of the land is owned by persons living in the near-by communities of Oxnard, Ventura, Camarillo, and other near-by towns and many of the persons residing on the land are not the owners of the land and the owners wish to form a county water district. The owners will be the ones primarily concerned with such a district and the ones who will be supporting such a district and not the resident nonowners.
