The Board of Selectmen shall have the powers and duties to administer
any extension of water mains as provided for by § 7-137c of the
General Statutes of the State of Connecticut, Revision of 1958, as amended,
after and in the event the legislative body of the Town has approved such
extension. The Town Tax Collector shall be the collection agency of any assessments
made by the Board of Selectmen by virtue of action taken under § 7-137c
or 7-137d of the Connecticut General Statutes.
Any assessment levied by the Board of Selectmen shall comply with the
statutory requirements of § 7-137c of said General Statutes, and
the assessments against each owner of property which abuts such water main
shall not exceed the special benefit to such property. Such assessments may
be levied at any time and shall be due and payable immediately upon filing
of a lien for benefits assessed; provided, however, that said Board may allow
such assessments to be paid in installments over a period not exceeding 15
years or such lesser period as the Board shall determine, and said Board shall
fix the rate of interest to be paid on the outstanding balance of said installments.
Said Board is hereby delegated the authority to determine the particulars
of such assessments and to determine the notices to be given to such property
owners against whom assessment are levied and for providing for the payment
and collection of such assessments.
