In any such improvement district, the proceeds from any water standby or availability charge or assessment in excess of ten dollars ($10) per acre per year or ten dollars ($10) per year for a parcel less than one acre shall only be used for the purposes of the improvement district.

This section, applicable only to the Joshua Basin Water District, is necessary because of the unique and special water management and financing problems of the area included within the district.
