Any municipality which issues revenue bonds for the construction, acquisition, improvement, extension or operation of a sewerage system under the provisions of this Code and establishes rates, charges or rents for the use of such sewerage system based upon the volume of water delivered through a waterworks system not owned by such municipality, may enter into a contract with the owner or operator of such waterworks system to act as collector of such rates, rents or charges for the use of such sewerage system and to pay over such revenues to such municipality as provided by this section.
