Colorado Revised Statutes Title 37. Water and Irrigation § 37-43-164. Apportionment of indebtedness

In any such proceeding for the dissolution of any irrigation district, the district court also has power, subject to such terms and conditions as it may deem just and equitable under the circumstances, to apportion the bonded indebtedness of the district among the various tracts of land within said district, each irrigable acre being liable for the same amount, and to provide for the release and extinguishment of the lien securing the bonds of said district or a part or portion thereof against all or any of said tracts of land upon the payment of all or a pro rata amount of said bonded indebtedness by the landowner either in cash or by the surrender by said landowner of an equivalent amount of said district bonds, coupons, or warrants. In the event the lien of said bonds, coupons, or warrants is so extinguished pursuant to said decree of said district court against any tract of land within said district, it is the duty of the county treasurer to issue a certificate to said landowner evidencing the extinguishment of said lien, and said certificate may be recorded and when recorded shall be conclusive evidence that the land described therein has been released and relieved from the lien securing the bonds of said district.
