§ 40-23-06 — Assessments in improvement districts before work completed

If the work consists of improvements on or additions to sewers or water mains already
installed or paving already laid, and all bids for such work were rejected and the work done by
the municipality, and if, in the opinion of the engineer acting for the municipality, the work can be
done in separate sections or work units, it shall not be necessary that all of the work be
completed before the special assessments are made. The governing body, by resolution
adopted at any time before or after the work has been commenced, may specify what part of the
improvements shall constitute a separate section or work unit, and upon completion of the work
in one or more of such separate sections or work units, the special assessments may be made
in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if all of the work in the entire
improvement district had been completed. Failure for any reason to complete the work in any
remaining separate section or work unit included within such improvement district shall not
affect the validity of the special assessments made or the special assessment warrants issued
for the work completed.
