SECTION 50140-50143

50140. Whenever any statute, ordinance, or regulation requires that
as a condition to the erection of one or more buildings or
structures, sewers, drains, or other facilities for sewers or drains,
or both, be installed, and where, in the opinion of the legislative
body of the local agency in which such buildings or structures will
be located, laterals or other facilities must be constructed which
can be or will be used for the benefit of property other than that on
which such buildings or structures are, or will be erected and such
sewers, drains, or other facilities are dedicated to the public, the
legislative body or bodies of the local agency or agencies in which
any portion of such other properties are situated may by contract
with the person erecting such buildings or structures agree to
reimburse and may reimburse such person for such lateral or other
facility. Such contract shall provide that each governing body may
collect from any person using the lateral or other facility for the
benefit of property subject to the jurisdiction of such governing
body but other than the property on which such buildings or
structures are erected, a reasonable charge for such use.

50141. Whenever the legislative body of a local agency pursuant to
this article has reimbursed or agreed to reimburse a builder for the
construction of a lateral or other facility, which can or will be
used by persons for the benefit of property other than the property
on which such buildings or structures are or will be erected, such
governing body may impose and collect for such use within its
jurisdiction, a reasonable charge.

50142. The word "person" as used in this article in reference to a
person liable to pay a charge includes districts formed for the
purpose of constructing or maintaining sewers. Charges imposed on
such districts pursuant to this article shall be included in
assessments levied for district purposes and in any bonds which may
be issued by such districts.

50143. When property is subject to a fee which has been or may be
imposed under the authority of this article and also to a fee which
has been or may be imposed under the authority of Article 5
(commencing with Section 66483) of Chapter 4 of Division 2 of Title
7, payment of either fee shall be deemed payment of both fees.
