After equitable rules and regulations for the distribution of water have been published once a week for two weeks in a newspaper of general circulation published in each affected county, any violation thereof is a misdemeanor and the violator shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine of not less than fifty dollars ($50) and not more than two hundred dollars ($200). When equitable rules and regulations for the distribution of water are amended, the district may publish a summary of the amendments to the rules and regulations with an Internet address and a physical location where the complete text of the amended rules and regulations may be viewed.

(Amended by Stats. 2010, Ch. 699, Sec. 38. (SB 894) Effective January 1, 2011.)

Terms Used In California Water Code 35424

  • Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
  • County: includes city and county. See California Water Code 14
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
