CHAPTER 42
GROUND WATER RECHARGE
42-4224.  Water users subject to inclusion within the district. (1) All water users, as defined in section 42-4202(1), Idaho Code, included within the district and who have not obtained exclusion as hereinafter provided, shall remain within and be subject to assessment by the district, notwithstanding the absence of their signatures on the petition for formation of the district, and notwithstanding any change in the ownership or control of the property of the water user, whether by way of transfer, exchange, conveyance, assignment, lease, or otherwise, to which the water right or rights used to determine assessments are appurtenant. Municipal water users, as defined in section 42-4202(2), Idaho Code, included within the district shall remain at their election, within and be subject to assessment by the district unless excluded in the manner hereinafter provided.
(2)  Any water user, as defined in section 42-4202(1), Idaho Code, who has obtained exclusion from the district, but who nevertheless is benefited by the district, shall remain excluded; provided, however, that any person or entity succeeding the water user in the ownership or control of property, whether by way of transfer, exchange, conveyance, assignment, lease, or otherwise, to which is appurtenant a water right that, barring the exclusion, would have been used to determine assessments, shall be deemed included within and subject to assessment by the district.
(3)  Any individual or entity whose permit to appropriate water was acquired after the formation of the district, but who qualifies as a water user under section 42-4202(1), Idaho Code, in all other respects, shall be deemed included within and subject to assessment by the district if benefited either directly or indirectly by the district.
