Notwithstanding Section 31149.1 or any other provision of law, the Sierra Lakes County Water District may construct works for generating hydroelectric power, at Lake Dulzura and Lake Serena and on Serena Creek in Placer County, and may operate and maintain the works, or contract for that operation or maintenance.
Construction of the works authorized by this section may be financed by the issuance of general obligation bonds or revenue bonds or any other method of financing authorized by law for public agencies. The power generated may be used by the district for its own purposes, but shall not be offered for sale directly by the district to customers other than a public utility or public agency engaged in the distribution, use, or sale of electricity.
Any of the powers may be exercised jointly with other public agencies authorized to exercise those powers. The power to acquire works and facilities does not include, and nothing in this section authorizes, the acquisition of property already employed in the generation of hydroelectric energy for public utility purposes, except by mutual agreement between the district and the owner of that property. The authority to construct, maintain, and operate works pursuant to this section applies only to works constructed and maintained after January 1, 1984.
