33217.  The new district is a public agency of the State and shall
in all respects be operated, managed and governed as provided by law
for county water districts generally.

33218.  The Newport Heights Irrigation District, Fairview County
Water District, the Newport Mesa County Water District, and the
Newport Mesa Irrigation District are hereby dissolved and for all

Newport Mesa County Water District, the Newport Heights Irrigation
District, and the Newport Mesa Irrigation District, and their merger
into the Costa Mesa County Water District, shall occur and be
considered completed for all purposes on the first day of the second
month following the sixty-first day after the effective date of this
part, unless there has been filed with any of the districts or the
City of Costa Mesa a petition signed by at least 5 percent of the
registered voters of the area comprising all of the districts and the
City of Costa Mesa requesting that an election be held for the
purpose of approving or disapproving the dissolution, merger and
creation of the new district by popular vote. If such petition is

adopt, any time prior to the first day of the second month following
the sixty-first day after this part becomes effective, resolutions
approving the dissolution of their districts and merger into the
Costa Mesa County Water District pursuant to the provisions of this
part. The failure of any of these districts or the city to adopt such
a resolution shall not prevent the dissolution, merger and creation
of the Costa Mesa County Water District, but shall only prevent the
dissolution, merger and transfer of such district or city system as
provided in this part. The territory of any district or city not
adopting such resolution shall be excluded from Section 33215 hereof
and shall not be part of the Costa Mesa County Water District as
provided in this part.

for a number of years by reason of the formation of an overlapping
district known as the Newport Mesa County Water District, action by
its directors, if any, shall not be necessary for approval of this
part. The Newport Mesa Irrigation District is hereby dissolved and
any property of the Newport Mesa Irrigation District not already
transferred to the Newport Mesa County Water District is hereby
transferred.

33222.  On the first day of the second month following the
sixty-first day after the effective date of this part, and if the
districts and the city have adopted the resolutions approving this
part as herein provided, and if no petition bearing at least 5
percent of the signatures of the registered voters of the area in the
districts and the city has been filed requesting an election, the
dissolution of the named districts and their merger into and the
formation of the new Costa Mesa County Water District shall occur
without further action by any of the districts or the city. All of
the facilities, properties, assets and liabilities of all the
districts are hereby transferred on such date to the Costa Mesa

City of Costa Mesa are, pursuant to the city's resolution approving
same, transferred as of that date to the Costa Mesa County Water
District.
