The Secretary of the Interior can appoint a water-users' association or irrigation district as the government's fiscal agent for a reclamation project. This agent collects yearly payments for construction charges, operation, maintenance, and penalties. A water-right applicant or entryman only gets credit for a payment once it reaches the officer the Secretary designated to receive it.
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized, in his discretion, to designate and appoint, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, the legally organized water-users’ association or irrigation district, under any reclamation project, as the fiscal agent of the United States to collect the annual payments on the construction charge of the project and the annual charges for operation and maintenance and all penalties: Provided, That no water-right applicant or entryman shall be entitled to credit for any payment thus made until the same shall have been paid over to an officer designated by the Secretary of the Interior to receive the same.
