For all purposes of the administration of the Water Sustainability Fund, the terms "purchase price" and "total cost of acquisition" shall, in the absence of a condemnation proceeding, mean the amount actually paid by the local organization or the amount established by an appraisal whichever is the lesser amount. In the event of a condemnation proceeding, such terms shall mean the amount of damages awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction. Payments by a local organization in excess of any purchase price so established shall be the sole responsibility of the local organization and shall have no effect upon the distribution of any proceeds subsequently realized from the sale of the land or right-of-way.
