How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Sec. 15. (a) The requirements listed in subsection (b) apply only if the municipal works board finds that the sewage works to be constructed:

(1) are intended and adapted only for local use by property owners along the line of the street, alley, or other public place on which the sewage works are constructed; and

(2) are not intended or adapted for receiving sewage from collateral sewers.

(b) The following requirements apply to the sewage works if the conditions of subsection (a) are satisfied:

(1) The abutting lots, parcels, and tracts of land shall be assessed primarily for the cost of the sewage works.

(2) The cost of the sewage works shall be primarily estimated according to the total number of lots abutting on the line of the works and served by the sewage works.

(3) The costs shall be primarily apportioned equally among all abutting lands or lots. However, adjustments shall be made as provided by section 16 of this chapter.
