§ 33:3826 — Report of total cost; amounts chargeable to each lot

The political subdivision, upon the award of such contract, shall forthwith or at a reasonable time thereafter require of the engineers of the political subdivision a duly certified statement or report showing in detail the total cost of the improvements, including the cost of street intersections, outside water facilities, engineering, legal and other fees, and all other expenses incidental to the cost of said improvements. If a local or special assessment has been levied the report shall also show the amount of the cost chargeable to each lot or parcel of real estate to be improved or benefited in the proportion that its front footage bears to the total front footage to be assessed, as shall be determined by the governing authority, provided, however, that where any water line is constructed upon more than one side of any lot or parcel of real estate, the total front footage of such lot or parcel of real estate to be assessed shall be determined by taking the total front footage of said lot or parcel of real estate abutting all water lines to be constructed and dividing such total front footage by two. The report shall further describe each lot or parcel of real estate to be assessed with sufficient clearness to identify it. The words "front footage" as used in R.S. 33:3822 through 33:3835 shall mean the footage of each lot or parcel of real estate abutting the street or right of way along which the water line is constructed.
