12-631a.Alteration, repair, reconstruction or construction of sewer
and payment thereof.
Whenever, in the opinion of the governing body of any city in the state
of Kansas it shall become necessary to alter, repair or reconstruct any
existing sewer which serves two or more sewer districts, where sewer
districts may have [been] created, or which serves a substantial portion of
the city, the governing body of such city may provide for the alteration,
repair or reconstruction of any such sewer; or if any such sewer, after
having been constructed for twenty years or more, is found to be
inadequate, and in the opinion of the governing body of [*] the inadequacy
of such sewer can be corrected at a lesser cost by the construction of
another sewer in the same watershed, the governing body of such city may
provide for the construction of a supplemental sewer.
In order to pay for the construction of sewers herein provided for, the
governing body of such city may assess the cost thereof against the sewer
district or sewer districts served by such sewer, in cases where sewer
districts have been created, or may, if in the opinion of the governing
body the cost of such alteration, repair, construction or reconstruction
should be borne by the city at large, pay the cost thereof out of the
general fund of said city, and if the general fund is insufficient to pay
such cost, or if the governing body deems it necessary, such governing body
may issue general improvement bonds in the manner provided by law to pay
such cost.
All contracts for any such work, and special assessments against any
property to pay the same in case such work is to be paid for by special
assessments, shall be governed as near as may be by the provisions of law
relating to the construction and payment of street improvements. If in the
opinion of the governing body the cost of such alteration, repair,
construction or reconstruction should be borne by the city at large the
governing body may find that such sewer is an interceptor sewer and such
finding shall be final and conclusive and shall make such sewer a utility
within the meaning of the word "utility" as defined in K.S.A. 10-1201.
