• Jurisdiction: Iowa
• Title IX: LOCAL GOVERNMENT
• Ch. 357: WATER DISTRICTS

Text

1. Any person or persons within any water district, who may, after the initial installation
of the improvement in any such district, desire to construct additional mains, and who have
been assessed on the original assessment, may with the consent of the trustees, connect such
lateral mains as they desire with the original system to serve property within the district
which has been assessed, provided that the entire cost thereof shall be borne by the parties
so interested.
2. The trustees shall have power to make additional assessments on unimproved lots
or parcels of land within the district when said unimproved lots or parcels are improved
and ready to receive the full benefits of the district. This additional assessment shall be
determined and fixed by the trustees and shall not exceed the average assessment for
improved property in said districts less the original assessment on said unimproved lots or
parcels. Said assessments shall be paid to the county treasurer before service pipes are laid
into said improvement. The assessment shall be put in the benefited water district fund of
the district of which said lots or parcels are a part and shall be used by the county treasurer
for the retirement of bonds and interest. When the bonds are all retired, the trustees shall be
authorized to use said fund for maintenance purposes, changing size of mains, eliminating
dead ends, or extending mains for the benefit of the district.
