§ 13565 District Utility Ownership Authority

• •If a district can own or run a utility (like water or electricity), it’s considered theirs even if it only serves a special area.
• •The utility doesn’t have to serve everyone—just the special district it was made for.
• •The law makes it clear who owns and runs the utility, even if it’s small or limited.

A small town builds a water system just for a new neighborhood.

Even though the water system only serves that one neighborhood, the town still owns and controls it.
