If such union or reorganization is ordered by the court, the order shall set out the fact that all pending litigation and claims, and outstanding bonds, refunding bonds, warrants, assessments, and obligations shall continue in their status quo, and that all rights, remedies, and obligations are preserved as under the former organization. Such order shall set the effective date of such change, and on such date all funds, levies, taxes, and assessments shall become operative under the newly formed or organized conservancy district.
