Official statutory text
If the proceeds from any distribution district assessment or charge exceed the amounts necessary for the purpose for which they were levied, the excess may either be held in a proper fund to be used for the operation of the distribution district or be transferred to the general fund of the district to be used as the board deems proper for the benefit of the land in the distribution district.
