• Jurisdiction: Colorado
• Title 31: Government
• Art.: Public Improvements

Text

When
the governing body declares the same necessary for sanitary reasons, it may order
the construction of district sanitary sewers in districts to be prescribed by
ordinance so as to connect with any public or district sewer or with some natural
drainage or disposal plant. Such districts, by like authority, may be divided into
subdistricts or enlarged, diminished, or otherwise altered by ordinance at any time
in accordance with the provisions of this part 5. The contract for district sewers
may include all necessary manholes, inlets, and appurtenances and such mains of
such reasonable extent outside the district as may be necessary to connect the
district with a public sewer or some natural drainage or disposal plant. Contiguous
municipalities may unite in the construction of a common sewer or cooperate in
such construction or extend to each other the right to use any sewer constructed or
to be constructed when such use may be deemed necessary for the discharge of
the sewage of either, and such cooperation, common construction, or use shall be
upon such terms as regards the apportionment of cost as may be agreed upon
between the governing bodies of such contiguous municipalities.
