In addition to such forms of organization, whenever in the opinion of the board of directors of said district it is feasible and necessary that ditches, canals, reservoirs, or other works which benefit only a part of the district should be constructed, a local improvement district or subdivision, or as many of such local improvement districts as may be necessary, may be created as provided in this article. Said local improvement district, when organized under the provisions of this law, shall be designated as ”Water Users' Association No. ........ in the Colorado River Water Conservation District“, or as ”Special Improvement District No. ........ in the Colorado River Water Conservation District“. Each subdistrict shall be numbered consecutively as created or organized. The board of directors, the engineers, attorneys, secretary, and other officers, agents, and employees of the district, so far as it may be necessary, shall serve in the same capacity for such subdivisions or subdistricts. A contract and agreement between the main district and the subdistrict may be made in the same manner as contracts and agreements between two districts.     History. Source: L. 37: P. 1008, § 8.
