California Code, Water Code - WAT § 31408.5

In the Pleasant Valley County Water District, every owner of land within the district, but no others, may vote at the election.

The special provisions of this section are necessary because in the Pleasant Valley County Water District much of the land is owned by persons living in the nearby communities of Oxnard, Ventura, Camarillo, and other nearby towns and many of the persons residing on the land are not the owners of the land and the owners may wish to undertake financing through a bond issue.  The owners of the land within the district are the ones primarily concerned with the district and the ones who will bear the cost of financing and not the resident nonowners.
