A. Each landowner within the district shall immediately after the organization thereof place the ditch, pipe line or conduit and other facilities connected therewith through which irrigation water is delivered to his land, in fair condition.

Thereafter all ditches, pipe lines, conduits and other facilities shall be operated and maintained by the district.
