§ 20.44.030. Legislative intent—Basis for levy of charges.

The action of the voters on June 6, 1978, has substantially reduced the amount of money from ad valorem assessments available for the maintenance of sewers within the District. The sewers in the District must be properly maintained in order to protect the public health and safety of the residents therein and the general public. It is, therefore, necessary to impose a sewer maintenance service charge upon the properties within the District. In order to avoid the substantial costs of establishing a billing system for collection of the charges, the board of supervisors finds that the charges should be collected on the tax roll. The board of supervisors further finds that the most equitable basis upon which to levy the charge is on a charge in proportion to the amount of water used in a previous one-year period.
