or products of the district.

board of directors shall approve.

and shall be entitled proportionately to use or otherwise dispose of
the products and services which were to be purchased by the
defaulting public agency.

water or sewage facility or system and, if so provided in such
contract or agreement, shall be an expense of operation and

contained in any such contract, the district may enforce performance
by any legal or equitable process, including specific performance.
