(A) All water rights as defined in and pursuant to the judgment dated October 11, 1965 and entered in Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. 786, 656 entitled "Central and West Basin-Water Replenishment District v. Charles E. Adams, et al." shall be deeded to the city prior to the acceptance and approval by the city of any maps, documents, permits or applications for water service connections to the municipal water system for the division, subdivision, development or redevelopment of any land on which such water rights were developed. In the event that the above requirements do not apply to the entire land area on which the water rights were developed, the total rights shall be prorated on a gross land acreage basis and the water rights apportioned to the land area for which these requirements do apply shall be dedicated.
(B) Whenever it is found by the City Engineer that water rights required by this section to be deeded to the city have not been previously deeded to the city and are not available to the owner of the land at the time these requirements for dedication apply, such land owner shall pay to the city the cost of acquiring comparable water rights as determined by the City Manager.
