Search 43 U.S.C. § 423a : US Code - Section 423A: Construction charges on permanently unproductive lands already paid; disposition

The construction charges prior to May 25, 1926, paid on
permanently unproductive lands excluded from the project shall be
applied as a credit on charges due or to become due on any
remaining irrigable land covered by the same water-right contract
or land taken in exchange as provided in section 423c of this
title. If the charges so paid exceed the amount of all water-right
charges due and unpaid, plus the construction charges not yet due,
the balance shall be paid in cash to the holder of the water-right
contract covering the land so excluded or to the irrigation
district affected; which in turn shall be charged with the
responsibility of making suitable adjustment with the landowners
involved. Should all the irrigable lands of a water-right applicant
be excluded from the project as permanently unproductive, and no
exchange be made as provided in said section, the total
construction charges paid before May 25, 1926, less any accrued
charges on account of operation and maintenance, shall be refunded
in cash, the water-right contract shall be canceled, and all liens
on account of water-right charges shall be released.
