Pursuant to § 7-253a of the Connecticut General Statutes,
eligible homeowners, as defined hereinafter, may apply to the Water
Pollution Control Authority for approval of a relief plan, as defined
hereinafter, for the payment of sewerage assessments made to such
homeowner under the benefit assessment policies of the Water Pollution
Control Authority adopted pursuant to §§ 7-249 through
7-254 of the Connecticut General Statutes. The Water Pollution Control
Authority may approve any such relief plan, subject to the provisions
of this article. An "eligible homeowner," as such term is used in
this article, shall mean a homeowner eligible for tax relief for elderly
taxpayers under the provisions of § 12-129b or 12-170aa
of the Connecticut General Statutes or eligible for tax relief for
elderly or disabled homeowners provided by the Town of Old Saybrook
pursuant to § 12-129n(a) of the Connecticut General Statutes.
A "relief plan," as such term is used in this article, means a plan
to pay a sewerage assessment in a manner other than that as provided
under the benefit assessment policies of the Water Pollution Control
Authority. Without limitation, such a relief plan may allow the payment
of only an annual interest charge, to be determined by the Water Pollution
Control Authority, on the applicable sewerage assessment, provided
that any such relief plan shall provide that the principal of such
sewerage assessment will become due upon the occurrence of whichever
of the following the Water Pollution Control Authority, in its sole
discretion, deems to be in the best interest of the Water Pollution
Control Authority to cause such principal to become due:
(1) The Water Pollution Control Authority determines, in its sole discretion,
that a transfer of title to the assessed property has occurred; or
(2) The Water Pollution Control Authority determines, in its sole discretion,
that the death of the relevant homeowner has occurred.
