Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
When the
governing body declares the same necessary for sanitary reasons, it may order the construction
of district sanitary sewers in districts to be prescribed by ordinance so as to connect with any
public or district sewer or with some natural drainage or disposal plant. Such districts, by like
authority, may be divided into subdistricts or enlarged, diminished, or otherwise altered by
ordinance at any time in accordance with the provisions of this part 5. The contract for district
sewers may include all necessary manholes, inlets, and appurtenances and such mains of such
reasonable extent outside the district as may be necessary to connect the district with a public
sewer or some natural drainage or disposal plant. Contiguous municipalities may unite in the
construction of a common sewer or cooperate in such construction or extend to each other the
right to use any sewer constructed or to be constructed when such use may be deemed necessary
for the discharge of the sewage of either, and such cooperation, common construction, or use
shall be upon such terms as regards the apportionment of cost as may be agreed upon between
the governing bodies of such contiguous municipalities.
