If the written certificate of the board of directors is filed as provided in § 46A-7-23, the irrigation district is not required to certify to the county auditor the amount of the assessments, including sums due the United States, that have been levied against the acreage of the district. The auditor is not required to enter the amount of each of the sums in separate columns of the tax lists of the county; and the tax lists, when delivered by the auditor to the county treasurer, need not contain the assessments levied on the tracts of land within the irrigation district. The secretary of the board of directors of the irrigation district shall certify to the treasurer of the irrigation district the amount of the assessments, including sums due the United States, who shall act in lieu of the county auditor in entering the amount of assessments in each fund levied upon each tract of land by the board of directors, including sums due the United States, in separate columns of a book to be known as “irrigation district assessment collection book.” The book shall be kept by the treasurer of the district as a public record of the irrigation district, and the treasurer shall thereafter act in lieu of the county treasurer in sending notices, collecting, and receipting for such assessments.
