Water Code section 33243

All outstanding bonded and other indebtednesses of the dissolved and merged districts are hereby assumed by the Costa Mesa County Water District, and all bondholders and creditors of such districts may enforce any rights they may have against the Costa Mesa County Water District in like manner as if the districts had not been dissolved and merged into the Costa Mesa County Water District. All property subject to taxation or assessment for the payment of the principal of or interest on any such outstanding bonded and other indebtedness shall, until such principal and interest is paid or provision is made for the payment thereof, continue to be subject to such taxation or assessment as fully as though said districts had not been merged or dissolved, and all provisions of law which could have been used against the legislative bodies and officers of the merged or dissolved districts to compel the levy and collection of such taxes or assessments had the merger or dissolution not occurred can be used against the board of directors and officers of the Costa Mesa County Water District. As the City of Costa Mesa has no present bonded indebtedness, the new Costa Mesa County Water District is not assuming any present or future indebtedness of the City of Costa Mesa.
