Within the Kings County Water District, the board may by ordinance provide for the establishment of special rates of taxation, for general fund purposes and for purposes of paying principal and interest upon general obligation bonds, for relatively low water using, nonfarm, heavy manufacturing industries located entirely within the district and upon which the district’s regular rate of taxation may bear unfairly relative to benefits received from the district as compared to other taxpayers in the district. The provisions of Article 2 (commencing with Section 31665) of Chapter 1 of Part 7 of Division 12 of the Water Code shall apply herein, except for Sections 31665 and 31671.
