P.R. Laws tit. 5, § 251
At any time after three (3) years following the organization of a district under §§ 241—252 of this title, any twenty-five (25) occupiers of land lying within such district may file a petition with the Soil Conservation Committee to terminate the existence of the district. The Committee may conduct such meetings and hearings upon such petition as may be necessary and, within sixty (60) days after the filing of such a petition, shall hold a referendum upon such proposal. All occupiers of land, within the definition of §§ 241—252 of this title, within the district, shall be eligible to vote in such referendum. After such referendum the Committee shall determine whether the continued operation of the district is necessary or practical and feasible. The Committee shall not have authority to determine in favor of the continued operation of the district unless a majority of the votes cast in the referendum were cast in favor of such continued operation. If the Committee determines in favor of the discontinuance of the district, it shall certify such determination to the district supervisors and to the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State shall issue to the Committee a certificate of dissolution in duplicate, and file a copy of such certificate in his office. Upon receipt of such certificate the Committee shall direct the supervisors to terminate the activities of the district. The Committee shall dispose of all property belonging to the district in accordance with the rules of the Department of the Treasury. Any contract theretofore in force to which the district is a party, shall remain in force and effect for the period provided in such contract. The Committee shall be substituted for the district as party to such contract.
