Any water user excluded from the district on the grounds specified in subsection (2) of section 42-5126, Idaho Code, shall not be subject to assessment for operation of the district or for assessment expenses after the entry of the order of exclusion, or in case of appeal, the effective date of exclusion, but shall remain subject to the following liabilities until discharged:
(1) Such excluded water user shall remain liable for payment of assessments previously levied and unpaid at the time of the entry of the order of exclusion, or in case of appeal, the effective date of exclusion.
(2) Such excluded water user, notwithstanding his exclusion, shall remain liable to pay his proportionate share, such share to be computed as specified in section 42-5113, Idaho Code, of any indebtedness of the district already incurred and outstanding at the time of the entry of the order of exclusion, or in case of appeal, the effective date of exclusion, but such water user shall not be liable upon any indebtedness incurred thereafter.
Any water user, as defined in section 42-5102, Idaho Code, who, after exclusion, remains subject to either or both of the liabilities specified herein shall, in addition, remain subject to the provisions of sections 42-5121, 42-5122, 42-5123 and 42-5124, Idaho Code, until such liabilities have been discharged.
Upon the discharge of any liability, the district shall issue to the water user its certificate of full payment executed by the chairman of the board and the secretary of the district, and acknowledged so that the certificate may be recorded in the records of the county wherein the property of the water user affected by such liability and the discharge thereof is situated.
