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] SUBDISTRICT that are connected or

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 shall:

installments over a period not exceeding 5 years, with interest
on unpaid balances at a rate not exceeding 6 percent;

(5)  Have the same lien and priority as is provided
