The cost of constructing, acquiring, purchasing, or maintaining
the canals, ditches, reservoirs, reservoir sites, water, water
right, rights-of-way, or other property incurred in connection with
any irrigation project under said irrigation district laws shall be
equitably apportioned among lands held under private ownership,
lands legally covered by unpatented entries, and unentered public
lands included in said irrigation district. Officially certified
lists of the amounts of charges assessed against the smallest legal
subdivision of said lands shall be furnished to the officer
designated by the Secretary of the Interior of the land district
within which the lands affected are located as soon as such charges
are assessed; but nothing in this chapter shall be construed as
creating any obligation against the United States to pay any of
said charges, assessments, or debts incurred.
All charges legally assessed shall be a lien upon unentered lands
and upon lands covered by unpatented entries included in said
irrigation district.
