§ 60-24. Joint district sewers.  


Latest version.
  • Whenever the city shall deem it necessary that a sewer be constructed or reconstructed in any part of the city containing two or more sewer districts it may, by ordinance, unite such sewer districts into a joint sewer district and cause a sewer to be constructed therein and assessments may be levied and apportioned to pay therefor, or for reimbursement of the revolving public improvement fund for payments made on account thereof, in like manner in all respects as is provided in this article in case of district sewers; except that in cases of joint district sewers the city may provide in the ordinance creating such joint sewer district and authorizing such joint sewer that the city shall pay a certain sum, to be specified in said ordinance, toward the cost of such joint district sewer.

    Should the council, by ordinance, unite two or more sewer districts into a joint sewer district for the purpose of constructing or reconstructing a joint district sewer therein, such action of the council shall be conclusive for all purposes, and no special tax bills or assessments shall be held invalid or affected on account of the included drainage area thereof, or the size, character and purpose of such sewer, but no sewer district shall be included in such joint district which is not included in the natural drainage area of the valley or watercourse in which the joint district sewer is proposed to be constructed.
