§ 237.151. Apportioning cost of outlet sewers and/or treatment plants; review of apportionment.  


Latest version.
  • The County Board shall at any time after a district has been established, determine the proportionate share of the cost of any outlet sewer and/or treatment plant, which shall be borne by each district so using it or benefited thereby. Before fixing and determining any such proportionate share or shares, a public hearing thereon shall be held by said board, after notice thereof given by publication in such manner as said board shall direct. In the event that any district heretofore created and for which bonds have been issued shall be entitled, as in this title provided, to have refunded to it a part or portion of the cost of any outlet sewer and/or treatment plant and at the same time shall be chargeable with a part of the cost of the outlet sewer and/or treatment plant, such refund shall be reduced by the proportionate share of the cost to such district for such outlet sewer and/or treatment plant. In the event that such proportionate share shall exceed such refund, such excess share, notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, shall be charged against such district and may be financed as a part of the cost of the sewer in such district. Any such apportionment so made by the County Board shall become final unless within 30 days from the date of such apportionment by said board an application is made by any person or party aggrieved for a review by certiorari. No review shall be had unless at the time of the application for a certiorari order the person interested and seeking the review shall give an undertaking approved by the Supreme Court, or a Justice thereof, as to form, amount and sufficiency of sureties, that, in the event of failure to modify such final determination or order, he will pay to the board making such final determination or order all costs and expenses as are incurred by it on account of such proceedings, to be determined by the court. In the event that upon such review there shall be any modification by the court of any such determination or apportionment, the court shall direct the modification thereof by order, which shall be final and conclusive, and such order shall be recorded by the County Board in the same place and manner as was the determination or apportionment appealed from.
