19-2752i. Sewer districts in counties having townships of 5,000 or
more; connection of lateral sewer with main sewer
system; incorporation as lateral sewer district or attachment to other
district; enlargement; procedure.
(a) Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 19-270, where any area lying within
the boundaries of a main sewer district
is served by lateral sewers privately built and is not included within the
boundaries of any lateral sewer district the governing body may authorize
the connection of lateral sewers with the main sewer system and
thereafter upon its own motion and a recommendation of the sewer district
engineer may organize and incorporate such area as a lateral sewer
district, or attach the same to some other lateral sewer district, first
giving notice by publication for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper
having general circulation within such county of the time, place and
purpose of a final hearing upon such proposal, at which hearing any
interested parties may appear and be heard. Whenever
any such area is organized as a lateral sewer district or is attached to
another lateral sewer district and the lateral sewers therein at the time
of such organization are not up to the standard of other lateral sewers of
previously existing lateral sewer districts in the main sewer district, the
governing body shall require the lateral sewers in such area to be brought
up to the standard of previously constructed lateral sewers in such
previously existing lateral sewer districts.
(b) Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 19-270, upon the recommendation
of the main sewer district engineer the
governing body by resolution may enlarge and extend the boundaries of any
joint or lateral sewer district to include such additional territory
contiguous thereto as may be requested in writing by the owners of record
thereof, or those having reserved the right so to do. Such resolution shall
provide for the levying of taxes and assessments upon the land in such
added area the same as are being levied upon all other lands in such joint
or lateral district and shall also provide for additional levies upon the
lands in such added area to pay a proportionate share of all amounts
previously paid by such district upon any outstanding bonds.
