(1) When a water district extends its water lines within its district or extends its water lines under KRS 74.110 beyond the district's territorial limits, and the extension would benefit land within an agricultural district created under KRS 262.850, the assessment against the land within the agricultural district for the cost of the extension shall be deferred.
