The Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda County Water District may vary the assessment according to the land uses and the degree of availability or quantity of use of water upon the affected lands within Improvement District No. 1.

(b) The Yorba Linda County Water District may elect to have the assessments authorized by subdivision (a) for the fiscal year collected on the tax roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time, as, and together with and not separately from, county taxes. In that event, the district shall prepare a written report which shall be filed with the secretary. The report shall contain a description of each parcel of real property and the amount of the assessment for each parcel for the year.

(c) The water standby or availability assessment authorized by this section shall not be imposed on any subdivided parcel with respect to which building permits have been issued prior to March 1 of each year or which has been connected to domestic water facilities of the Yorba Linda County Water District prior to July 1 of each year.

If new, increased, or extended assessments are proposed, the board shall comply with the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753 of the Government Code.

(e) The purpose of this section is to provide a method whereby the Yorba Linda County Water District may more fairly allocate the cost of providing capital water facilities among the lands and present and future inhabitants of Improvement District No. 1 according to the benefit received. Accordingly, the proceeds of the assessment authorized by subdivision (a) shall be used only: (1) to supplement the proceeds of the ad valorem property tax levied by the Yorba Linda County Water District within Improvement District No. 1 to pay debt service on the Series A and Series B 1978 Water Bonds and additional general obligation bonded indebtedness, not to exceed the amount of five million dollars ($5,000,000), of the Improvement District No. 1; and (2) to pay the cost of the proceedings incurred pursuant to this section.
