(1) In
order to carry out the purposes of the district and the provisions of this article, the
board of directors has the following powers:

(a) Within the limits of the Grand Valley drainage district, to levy taxes of the
same kinds and classes upon the taxable property, real, personal, or mixed, which is
subject to taxation for state and county purposes in accordance with the laws of
this state;

(b) To designate specially benefited areas within the district as improvement
districts and to levy, collect, and cause to be collected assessments fixed against
real property in any such improvement district within the district;

(c) To fix and, from time to time, increase or decrease and collect and cause
to be collected rates, fees, and other service charges pertaining to the facilities of
the district and to pledge revenues derived from such service charges for the
payment of district securities. The board of directors may enforce the collection of
such revenues by civil action or by any other means provided by law. Service
charges may include, without limitation, minimum charges and charges for
availability of the facilities or services relating to the facilities of the district. Such
service charges may be charged to and collected in advance or otherwise by the
district at any time or from time to time from any person owning real property
within the district or from any occupancy of such property which directly or
indirectly is, or has been, or will be connected with the district drainage system.
Such service charges, as nearly as the district deems practicable and equitable,
shall be reasonable and uniform for the same type, class, and amount of use.
Reasonable penalties may be fixed for any delinquencies, including, without
limitation, interest on delinquent service charges from any date due at a rate of not
more than one percent per month, or fraction thereof, reasonable attorney fees, and
other costs of collection. The district may prescribe and, when necessary, revise a
schedule of such service charges.
