(b) (1) The commissioners of the district shall have the right to consent to or refuse to allow these connections within their discretion. (2) (A) These connections shall be made on such terms as the commissioners may dictate. However, no lands outside the district shall be permitted to connect with the improvements of the district except on payment to the district of a sum equal to not less than the charge made against similarly benefited lands within the district.
