§ 36-9-22-5 — Sewer connected to existing works; certain cases; amounts to be included in cost estimate and assessments; payment of assessments in installments; amount of bonds; cash payments

(a) This section applies when:
(1) any part of the cost of a sewer, whether local or general, storm,
sanitary, combination, or otherwise, is to be assessed against the
owners of real property;
(2) the proposed sewer is to be connected into sewage works
constructed under this chapter; and
(3) the owners did not contribute to the cost of those sewage
works.
(b) There shall be included in:
(1) the engineer's estimate submitted to the municipal works
board before the hearing on the proposed sewer; and
(2) the assessments;
a sum equal to the amount provided in or computed from the contract
as the fair pro rata share due from the owners upon and for the
contracted sewage works, including any interest owed. The sum
included in the engineer's estimate must be separately itemized.
(c) If an owner elects to pay the owner's assessment by installments
in anticipation of which bonds and coupons are issued, the amount of
the bonds and coupons must include the fair pro rata share of the cost
of the contracted sewage works. However, an owner may elect to pay
the fair pro rata share in cash within sixty (60) days after the
assessment is final and to pay the remainder of the assessment in
installments.
