(a) If the Commission finds that it is not financially
feasible or economical to pay the entire cost of a sewerage OR
WATER system from the proceeds of bonds issued under Section

properties in a sub-district that are connected ow or will be
connected to the sewerage OR WATER system an assessment to pay
for a portion of the cost of the facilities in the sewerage OR
WATER system which the Commission believes are necessary for its
operation and which serve or will serve all properties connected
with it, including sewerage treatment plants, disposal fields,
lagoons, pumping stations, outfall, tank and intercepting sewers
AND ALL FACILITIES APPURTENANT TO AND USED IN CONNECTION WITH
WATER TREATMENT PLANTS AND INTAKE STATIONS. The assessment

the sewer shall be constructed by and at the expense of the
District. If the Commission so elects, the cost shall be
recovered by a reasonable charge by the District for each such
connection. The charge shall be uniform within each class of
property owners throughout each subdistrict and shall be paid by
each property owner at the office of the Commission before the
actual connection with any pipe on the property of any such owner
is made. The Commission is not required to impose a connection
