§ 60-30. Connecting private sewers with district or joint district sewers—Contents of contract; recording of contract.

(a)

Any contract entered into by a developer and the director of water services as provided in section 60-26 shall provide that, if annexation is declared invalid, the developer, or his successors in ownership of the lands to be served, shall be billed in accordance with section 60-3 subsection (a) subsection (3). Where business and industrial property is to be served, the amount of the annual service charge shall be determined by the director of water services. Such contract shall be filed and recorded with the recorder of deeds in the respective county in which the sewers are to be constructed, along with a copy of the approved subdivision plat, and shall provide that the developer shall have the right to transfer responsibility for payment of the annual service charge to his successors in ownership by covenant running with the land.

(b)

Such contract shall state that the granting of the permission for a sewer connection from projects now outside the city does not exempt the property drained from being taxed for the construction of public sewers in any district or joint district hereafter established in which these sewers are constructed, and it shall not be understood that the construction of the sewers, or the property drained by them, establishes a separate sewer district.

(c)

Such contract shall further provide that the city retains the right and power to make use of, construct, reconstruct or change the sewers and the connections to the city sewers, laterals and appurtenances, as may be necessary for the sewering of the property to be drained under the terms of such contract.
