(a) 
In accordance with § 7 of chapter 146 of the Public Laws of Rhode Island 1972, there is created and established a sewer district for the town, which shall include and consist of the list of parcels of land appearing on the town assessor's maps which is on file in the town clerk's office.
(b) 
The lots or parcels of land above described are further shown and delineated on a certain map or maps on file with the town clerk designated as "Official Map of Land Within the New Shoreham Sewer District." The maps shall be recorded with the office of the town clerk.
[Rev. Ords. 1989, § 19-17]
The electors of the town within the district established qualified to vote upon any proposition to impose a tax or for the expenditure of money in the town shall annually assemble in a special meeting during the month of June for the purpose of hearing official reports of the board of sewer commissioners and to approve a budget for the subsequent fiscal year.
[Rev. Ords. 1989, § 19-18]
The proposed budget shall include all costs of maintaining, repairing and operating such sewage disposal systems including reasonable reserves for such purposes and for renewals and replacements, and any other expenses not otherwise provided for which may arise under this chapter, to the extent that monies for the foregoing purposes are not otherwise provided.
[Rev. Ords. 1989, § 19-19]
(a) 
Upon the adoption of the annual budget, the board of sewer commissioners shall fix a schedule of sewer charges for the sewer facilities and services furnished by the town for the purpose of funding the budget. Such charges shall be just and equitable and may be based upon the quantity of water used or the number and size of sewer connections made or the number and kind of plumbing fixtures installed on the estate or upon the number of average number of persons residing or working in or otherwise connected therewith or upon any other factor affecting the use of or the value of the facilities and services furnished or upon any combination of such factors.
(b) 
All sewer charges shall be assessed upon the owner of the real estate or the tenant or occupant; provided, however, that no person shall be assessed in the district whose property is not connected or required to be connected to the sewer system.
