Water Code general law relating to water control and improvement districts (WCIDs), which covers WCIDs created by the petition process unless separate law provides otherwise, includes provisions relating to assessments to fund a WCID irrigation system. The Water Code general law requires that not less than one-third nor more than two-thirds of the irrigation system estimated maintenance and operating expenses shall be paid by assessment against land in the district to which the WCID furnishes water through its irrigation system or an extension thereof. House Bill 3520 enacts an exception, to provide that those one-third and two-thirds lower and upper bounds do not apply to the Bexar-Medina-Atascosa Counties Water Control and Improvement District No. 1.
