The provisions of section 7-374 of the general statutes shall not apply to bonds issued under this act. SEC. 6. The district shall be responsible for any injury or damage to person or property, happening or arising by reason of the maintenance or operation of the transportation service, in the same manner and to the same extent as though the same were owned and operated by individuals or by a private cor­ poration. Members of the board shall not be personally liable to suits in such cases except for malfeasance in office. Any member of the board shall be an agent of the district for service of process. SEC. 7.

AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE EXTENSION OF WATER LINES AND THE INSTALLATION OF WATER PIPES BY THE TOWN OF PLAINVILLE AND THE ASSESS­ MENT AGAINST PROPERTY BENEFITED THERE­ BY.

SECTION 1. Number 379 of the special acts of 1967 is amended to read as follows: Whenever in the opinion of the town council of the town of Plainville, public necessity and convenience require the extension of any water main, it shall first ascertain that the Plainville Water Company does not in­ tend to make such extension. Upon written notice from said 116 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., sP. nO. 135

company that it does not intend to make such extension, the council shall give at least ten days written notice of the pro­ posed extension to said company and the owner or owners of the land and buildings against which the cost of such water mains may be assessed and of the time and place when ob­ jections to such extensions will be heard by said council, and notice thereof shall also be published in a newspaper pub­ lished in the town of Plainville. If after such hearing said coun­ cil finds that public necessity and convenience require the ex­ tension of such water main, it may vote to make such exten­ sion. SEC. 2. Said council may open the ground in any streets, lanes, avenues, highways and public grounds within said town for the purpose of laying water mains and installing hydrants, building services and such other works as may be necessary in accordance with this act, and may reopen such streets, lanes, avenues, highways and public grounds as may be necessary to repair such works from time to time, provided the same are left in as good condition as before installing or repairing such works, for so long as said town owns such installation. To re­ pair all defects or injuries to such areas which are caused by its use of the same for the purposes of this act, said town may carry and conduct any aqueduct or other works to be made or constructed by it under or over any water course, street, high­ way, private way or public grounds, provided it restores the same as speedily as possible to as good condition as before the laying and constructing of such works. SEC. 3. Said council shall assess against the land and buildings found to be specially benefited and to abut upon the road, street or highway or easement under which a water main is laid a share of the cost of such water main according to such rule as said council may adopt based upon area, frontage or assessed valuation of land on the last grand list, or any com­ bination thereof; and said council may, in its discretion, make reasonable allowances in the case of properties having a front­ age on more than one road or street or highway or easement, frontage on a curve, or when for any reason the situation of the frontage of the property shall require such allowance; provided no property shall be assessed for a greater amount than the special benefit to accrue to such property. All prop­ erty benefited by the laying of such water mains shall together bear as nearly as possible the total cost of the laying and con­ struction of such water main. Upon the final completion of the construction of any such water main, said council shall give written notice thereof to the owners of the lands and build­ ings assessed therefor and that the assessments are due and 1969] of connecticut 117 SP. NO. 135 payable on the date of such notice. Any such owner may pay the amount of any such assessment within thirty days from the date of such notice without the addition of any interest charge, or shall, within said thirty days, notify said council of his election to pay the amount so assessed in equal instalments, the first instalment to be paid within said period of thirty days, and subsequent instalments to be paid in substantially equal annual instalments beginning not later than one year and end­ ing not later than ten years from the date of said notice. All assessments unpaid after thirty days from the date of such notice, unless the owner assessed had elected instalment pay­ ments, shall bear interest at the rate of six per cent per annum from the date of such notice. If such owner has elected instal­ ment payments, all unpaid balances shall bear interest at the rate of four per cent per annum, provided any instalment payment which has not been paid within thirty days of its due date shall bear interest at the rate of six per cent per annum from such due date to the date of its payment. The amount so assessed shall be a lien upon the lands and build­ ings against which it was assessed, which lien shall commence and attach to said land and buildings from the time of the passage by said council of the vote to extend the water main, provided a certificate of such lien, describing the property on which the same exists and the amount thereof, shall be filed with the town clerk of the town of Plainville, such certificate to be signed by the town manager or other authorized repre­ sentative of said council and to be filed within one year after the assessment or charge shall have become payable. The tax collector of the town of Plainville may collect such assess­ ments in accordance with any mandatory provision of the general statutes for the collection of property taxes, and the municipality may recover any such assessment in a civil action against any person liable therefor. Whenever any person has become delinquent in the payment of any instalment and has paid all such past-due instalments together with any interest or other charges, the town council shall permit such person to pay any remaining instalments without additional penalty, except for subsequent default, in accordance with the original instalment schedule. SEC. 4. To put into operation any water main extension constructed by said town, said council may purchase water from the Plainville Water Company or from any other water supplier. Said council may set the rates to be charged the users of water purchased by it and delivered through mains con­ structed by it, provided such rates are no higher than neces­ sary to cover the cost of the water, the maintenance of the 118 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., sP. nO. 136 mains and the administration of such water supply service and may bill the users of such water and collect such bills in the same manner as any property tax is collected. Any person ag­ grieved by any charge for connection with or for the use of such a water main may appeal to the court of common pleas for the county or judicial district wherein the municipality is located and shall bring any such appeal to the next return day of said court, or the next but one. The judgment of the court shall be final. SEC. 5. If after public hearing, said council finds it to be in the interest of the residents of the town of Plainville to lease or convey water mains constructed by said town to the Plain­ ville Water Company or its successors or assignees, said coun­ cil may so lease or convey its rights and interests in such water mains to said company upon mutually acceptable terms.

SEC. 12. The authority shall have the power: (a) To sue and be sued; (b) to have a seal and alter the same at pleasure; (c) to acquire, in the name of the authority, lease, hold and dispose of personal property or any interest therein for its cor­ porate purposes, including the power to purchase prospective or tentative awards in connection with the exercise of the power of eminent domain granted; (d) to purchase, in the name of the authority, any water supply system or parts thereof situated within or outside the district for the purpose of supplying water for domestic, commercial and public purposes at retail to in­ dividual consumers within the district or at wholesale in the manner provided by subdivision (g) of this section. As a means of so acquiring for such purposes and subject to the approval of the public utilities commission, the authority may purchase all of the stock of any existing privately owned water corpora­ tion or water company and thereafter such water corporation or water company shall be dissolved; (e) except for any prop­ erty or interest in property located outside the district or for a water supply system the legal title to which is vested in (1) a city, town or borough, (2) a private corporation or association using such system wholly for its own use or (3) a private water company serving more than one hundred consumers, as defined in section 16-1 of the 1967 supplement to the general statutes as amended, to acquire by eminent domain such land, interest in land, real estate and other rights, hereinafter called such property, for the purpose of supplying water for domestic, commercial and public purposes at retail to individual con­ sumers within the district or at wholesale in the manner pro­ vided by subdivision (g) of this section, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, provided said authority shall be held to pay all damages, including reasonable legal costs and any moving expenses that may arise to any person or persons from any such taking.

If the report is rejected, the 198 special acts [Jan., sP. nO. 174 court or judge shall appoint another committee, who shall proceed in the same manner as did the first committee. If the report is accepted, such acceptance shall have the effect of a judgment in favor of the owner of the property against said authority for the amount of such assessment, and, except as otherwise provided by law, execution may issue therefor. Such property shall not be used by such authority until the amount of such assessment has been paid to the party to whom it is due or deposited for his use with the clerk of such superior court and, upon such payment or deposit, such property shall become the property of the authority, provided that no facility or land or interest in land held by a public service company, as defined in section 16-1 of the 1967 supplement to the general statutes, shall be acquired unless in lieu of damages an adequate sub­ stitute therefor, approved by the public utilities commission, shall first be provided by and at the expense of the authority.

All contracts for the sale of water shall be binding for a period specified therein. The fact that any municipality has procured or is about to procure an independent source of water supply shall not prevent such municipality from purchasing water from the authority. The authority may sell any water not needed in such district to any municipality or to any privately owned public water supply company; (h) any provision in any general statute, special act or charter to the contrary notwithstanding, to purchase water approved by the state department of health from any person, private corporation or municipality when necessary or con­ venient for the operation of any water supply system developed by the authority, or when necessary or convenient for resale by the authority under the provisions of subdivision (g) of this section; (i) to make bylaws for the management and regula­ tion of its affairs and for the use of its properties and, subject to 1969] OF CONNECTICUT 199 SP.

Notwithstanding the fact that the bonds may be payable from a special fund, if they are otherwise of such form and character as to be negotiable instru­ ments under the terms of the uniform commercial code, the bonds shall be the negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all the purposes of the uniform commercial code, subject only to the provisions of the bonds for registration. (b) The bonds shall be authorized by resolution of the authority and shall bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times, not exceeding forty years from their respective dates, bear interest at such rates per annum, not exceeding statutory limitations, payable at such times, be in such denomination, be in such form, either coupon or registered, carry such registra­ tion privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in law­ ful money of the United States of America, at such place or places, and be subject to such terms of redemption as such resolution or resolutions may provide.

All bids or pro­ posals shall be publicly opened by the authority or its duly authorized agent. If the bidder whose bid has been accepted after advertising neglects or refuses to accept the contract within the period of time established in the advertisement for bids after written notice that the same has been awarded to him on his bid or proposal, or if he accepts but does not exe­ cute the contract and give proper security, the authority may declare his deposit forfeited and it shall be readvertised and relet as above provided.

SEC. 26. Nothing in this act shall preclude the right of the authority to enter into contracts and agreements with city, town or private water companies or associations concerning the retail sale and delivery of water.

SEC. 27. If the authority desires to sell any of its real as­ sets, it shall first allow the state of Connecticut the right to purchase the same at the price and on the terms offered therefor by a bona fide purchaser for value. If the state does not exercise this right of first refusal, such real assets shall be offered to the member town wherein the same are located at the same price and terms. If both the state and the munici­ 1969] OF CONNECTICUT 207 SF. NO. 175 pality in question do not exercise this right of refusal, the au­ thority shall be free to offer the same to said bona fide pur­ chaser for value. SEC. 28. The member towns may insure and make advance commitments to insure any sums borrowed by the authority in the aggregate amount of one million dollars for the purpose of providing working capital and organizational funds for the au­ thority. Whatever sums are borrowed by the authority under the provisions of this section shall be repaid to the lender or lenders of the same out of the proceeds of the first series bonds of the authority, and within six years of the effective date of this act. SEC. 29. Insofar as the provisions of this act are incon­ sistent with the provisions of any other act, general or special, or any local law of any municipality, the provisions of this act shall be controlling. Nothing contained in this act shall be held to alter or abridge the powers and duties of the state depart­ ment of health or of the water resources commission over water supply matters.

NO. 206 purposes within the district a potential surface reservoir site with an estimated dependable yield of more than five hundred thousand gallons per day, or one or more potential wells hav­ ing estimated combined yields of more than fifty gallons per minute, except for wells which are within one thousand feet of an existing water main belonging to such city, town, bor­ ough, corporation, company, association or person, it shall first declare such intention to the authority and shall indicate its anticipated water requirements. Within three months of being so notified, the authority shall determine whether or not such water supply development would affect the regional water supply plan of the authority. If in the authority's judgment such plan will not be affected, the authority shall release such potential water supply site for development by such city, town, borough, corporation, company, association or person; other­ wise the authority shall promptly select an engineer satisfac­ tory to such city, town, borough, corporation, company, asso­ ciation or person to design and supervise construction of fa­ cilities to satisfy such water requirements, construction of which shall be commenced by the authority upon approval of plans by such city, town, borough, corporation, company or person. Failure of the authority to act within the prescribed time limit shall constitute approval for development of the site or well field by the city, town, borough, corporation, company, association or person concerned. Provisions of this section shall not apply to development of a water supply for a single dwell­ ing or for water requirements of less than fifty gallons per min­ ute. SEC. 3. Section 14 of said special act is amended to read as follows: The authority shall have the power: (a) To sue and be sued; (b) to have a seal and alter the same at pleasure; (c) to acquire, in the name of the authority, lease, hold and dis­ pose of personal property or any interest therein for its corpo­ rate purposes, including the power to purchase prospective or tentative awards in connection with the exercise of the power of eminent domain granted; (d) to purchase, in the name of the authority, any water supply system or parts thereof situated within or outside the district, except in the town of Lebanon, for the purpose of supplying water for domestic, commercial and public purposes at retail to individual consumers within the district or at wholesale in the manner provided by sub­ division (h) of this section.

If such au­ thority cannot agree with any owner upon the amount to be paid for any property to be acquired, said authority may, after ten days' written notice to such owner, petition the superior court for the county in which such property is located, or, if said court is not then sitting, any judge of said court, and thereupon said court or such judge shall appoint a committee of three disinterested persons, who shall be sworn before com­ mencing their duties. Such committee, after giving reasonable notice to the parties, shall view the property in question, hear the evidence, ascertain the value, assess just damages to the owner or parties interested in the property, and report its do­ ings to said court or such judge. Said court or such judge may accept such report or may reject it for irregular or improper conduct by the committee in the performance of its duties. If the report is rejected, the court or judge shall appoint another committee, who shall proceed in the same manner as did the first committee. If the report is accepted, such acceptance shall have the effect of a judgment in favor of the owner of the prop­ erty against said authority for the amount of such assessment, and, except as otherwise provided by law, execution may issue therefor. Such property shall not be used by such authority until the amount of such assessment has been paid to the party to whom it is due or deposited for his use with the state treas­ urer and, upon such payment or deposit, such property shall become the property of the authority provided, if at any stage of condemnation proceedings brought hereunder, it appears to the court or judge before whom such proceedings are pend­ ing that the public interest will be prejudiced by delay, said court or such judge may direct that the authority be permitted to enter immediately upon the property to be taken and de­ vote it temporarily to tbe public use specified in such petition 244 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan..

Such assessment may include a proportionate share of the cost of any part of the water supply system, including the cost of pre­ liminary studies and surveys, detailed working plans and specifications, acquiring necessary land or property or any in­ terest therein, damage awards, interest charges during con­ struction, legal and other fees, and any other expense incidental to the completion of the work, provided the authority shall not assess for the cost of transmission or feeder mains into which the authority will not permit service connection to be made, or for the cost of any main in excess of the cost of an eight-inch main, except where a larger main is required for the benefit of a particular property or group of properties, against which the authority may then assess the additional costs of such larger mains. The cost of mains of a given size for as­ sessment purposes shall be based upon the costs to the author­ ity of mains of like size for the most recent period of three calendar years preceding the date of assessment; for any year for which there are no such cost data available, such prior costs may be determined from the average costs of mains of like sizes constructed by the water utilities of the cities of Groton, New London and Norwich. The authority may divide the total territory to be benefited by a water supply system into local districts and may levy assessments against the property bene­ fited in each local district separately. In assessing benefits against property in any local district the authority may add to the cost of the part of the water supply system located in the local district a proportionate share of the cost of any part of the water supply system located outside the local district but deemed by the authority to be necessary or desirable for the operation of the part of the system within the local district. In assessing benefits and apportioning the amount to be raised thereby among the properties benefited, the authority may give consideration to area, frontage, grand list valuation, present or permitted use or classification of benefited properties and any other relevant factors. The authority shall make a reason­ able allowance in the case of a property having frontage on more than one street and whenever for any reason the particu­ lar situation of any property requires an allowance. Revenue from assessment of benefits shall be used solely for acquisition or construction of the water supply system providing such benefits or for payment of principal of and interest on bonds 1969] OF CONNECTICUT 247 SP. NO. 206 or notes issued to finance such acquisition or construction. No assessment shall be made against any property in excess of the special benefit to accrue to such property, and the aggregate of all assessments for the assessable portion of the entire water supply system of the authority shall at no time exceed the to­ tal construction cost of such assessable portion of such water supply system. In case of a property other than commercial, industrial or institutional which exceeds by more than one hundred per cent the size of the smallest lot permitted in the lowest density residential zone allowed under zoning regula­ tions or, in the case of a town having no zoning regulations, a lot size of one acre in area and one hundred fifty feet in front­ age, assessment of such excess land shall be deferred until such time as such excess land shall be built upon or a building per­ mit issued therefor or until approval of a subdivision plan of such excess property by the planning commission having juris­ diction, whichever event occurs first, at which time assessment may be made as provided herein. No hen securing payment shall be filed until the property is assessed. No assessment or supplementary assessment shall be made until after a public hearing before the authority at which the owner of the prop­ erty to be assessed shall have an opportunity to be heard con­ cerning the proposed assessment. Notice of the time, place and purpose of such hearing shall be published at least ten days before the date thereof in a newspaper having circulation in the district, and a copy of such notice shall be mailed to the owner of any property to be affected thereby, at least ten days before the date thereof, at such owner's address as shown in the last-completed grand list of the municipality in which such property is located or at any later address of which the authority may have knowledge. A copy of the proposed assess­ ment shall be on file in the office of the authority and in the office of the town clerk of the town in which the property to be assessed is located, and such assessment shall be available for inspection by the public for at least ten days before the date of such hearing. When the authority has determined the amount of the assessment to be levied, it shall file a copy thereof in the office of the authority and shall record a copy thereof in the office of such town clerk and, not later than five days after such filing and recording, shall cause the same to be published in a newspaper having circulation in the district. Such publi­ cation shall state the date on which such assessment was filed and that any appeal from such assessment must be taken to the court of common pleas for the county wherein the property is located, within twenty-one days after such filing. Such court may appoint three disinterested persons to appraise the bene­ fits to such property and to make a report of their doings to 248 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan.. SP. NO. 206 the court. Such appeal, during the pendency thereof, shall stay all proceedings for collection of the particular assessment upon which the appeal is predicated. If any assessment is not valid or enforceable for any reason, a new assessment may be made. If any assessment is made which is not sufficient to cover the entire cost of the work to be paid for by such assessment, a supplementary assessment may be made by the authority with­ in six months after final completion of construction against those properties previously assessed, to the end that a sum suf­ ficient to pay the cost of such work may be obtained, provided no such supplementary assessment, together with the original assessment, shall exceed the value of the special benefit to ac­ crue to the property against which the benefit is assessed. As­ sessments shall be due and payable at such time as is fixed by the authority, provided no assessment shall become due until the work or particular portion thereof for which such assess­ ment was levied has been completed. The authority shall give notice of the date when assessments are due and payable by publication at least twice within a period of fifteen days in a newspaper having circulation in the district. Such notice shall list the streets and describe the area within which are located any properties against which such assessments are due. No as­ sessment shall be due and payable earlier than thirty days after first publication of such notice. The authority may provide for payment of any assessment in substantially equal annual in­ stalments, not exceeding twenty, and may provide for interest charges not exceeding six per cent for any deferred payments, provided the last instalment of any assessment shall be due not later than one year prior to the date of the last maturity of any bonds or notes issued by the authority to finance acquisi­ tion or construction of any water supply system or portion thereof in respect to which the assessment was levied. Any per­ son may pay any instalment for which he is liable at any time prior to the due date thereof and no interest on any such in­ stalment shall be charged beyond the date of such payment. Any assessment of benefits or any instalment thereof not paid within thirty days after the due date shall be delinquent and shall be subject to interest from such due date at the interest rate and in the manner provided by the general statutes for delinquent property taxes. Each addition of interest shall be collectible as a part of such assessment. Whenever any instal­ ment of an assessment becomes delinquent, all remaining un­ paid instalments of such assessment shall also become delin­ quent. Any unpaid assessment and any interest due thereon shall constitute a lien upon the real estate against which the as­ sessment was levied from the date of such levy. Each such lien may be continued, recorded and released in the manner pro­ 1969] OF CONNECTICUT 249 SP. NO. 206 vided by the general statutes for continuing, recording and re­ leasing property tax liens. Each such hen shall take precedence over all other liens and encumbrances except taxes and may be foreclosed in the same manner as property tax liens. The au­ thority may by resolution designate any person as collector of water supply system assessments, and the authority may re­ cover any such assessment in a civil action against any person liable therefor. Whenever any person has become delinquent in the payment of any instalment and has paid all such past- due instalments together with any interest or other charges, the authority shall permit such person to pay any remaining instalments without additional penalty, except for subsequent default, in accordance with the original instalment schedule. The authority may establish and revise fair and reasonable charges for connection with a water supply system. The owner of property against which any such connection charge is levied shall be liable for payment thereof. Municipally-owned and other tax-exempt property which uses the water supply sys­ tem shall be subject to such charges under the same conditions as are the owners of other property. No schedule of such charges for connection with a water supply system shall be established or revised until after a public hearing before the authority at which any parties having an interest in such charges shall have an opportunity to be heard. Notice of the time, place and purpose of such hearing shall be published at least ten days before the date thereof in a newspaper having circulation in the district. A copy of the proposed charges shall be on file in the office of the authority and in the office of the town clerk of the town in which the property being charged is located, and such charges shall be available for inspection by the public for at least ten days before the date of such hearing. When the authority has established or revised such charges, it shall file a copy thereof in the office of the au­ thority and in the office of such town clerk and, not later than five days after such filing, shall cause the same to be pub­ lished in a newspaper having circulation in the district. Such publication shall state the date on which such charges were filed and the time and manner of paying such charges and shall state that any appeal from such charges must be taken within twenty-one days after such filing. Any person aggrieved by any charge for connection with a water supply system may ap­ peal to the court of common pleas for the county wherein the local district is located. In establishing or revising such charges the authority may classify the property connected or to be connected with the water supply system and may give consideration to any factors relating to the kind, quality or extent of use of any such property or classification of property 250 special acts [Tan., SP. NO. 206 including anticipated maximum rate of flow to the property; size of service pipe and meter; private fire protection to be provided by the service pipe and appurtenances; and any oth­ er factors affecting the cost of rendering water service to the property. The authority may establish minimum charges for connection with a water supply system. Any charge for con­ nection with or for use of a water supply system not paid with­ in thirty days of the due date shall thereupon be delinquent and shall bear interest from the due date at the rate and in the manner provided by the general statutes for delinquent prop­ erty taxes. Each addition of interest shall be collectible as a part of such connection or use charge. Any such unpaid con­ nection or use charge shall constitute a lien upon the real estate against which such charge was levied from the date it became delinquent. Each such hen may be continued, recorded and released in the manner provided by the general statutes for continuing, recording and releasing property tax liens by the person designated as collector of connection charges. Each such lien shall take precedence over all other liens and en­ cumbrances except taxes and may be foreclosed in the same manner as a lien for property taxes. The authority may by reso­ lution designate any person as collector of water supply sys­ tem connection and use charges, and such collector of water supply system connection and use charges may collect such charges in accordance with the provisions of the general stat­ utes for the collection of property taxes. The authority may recover any such charges in a civil action against any person liable therefor. The authority shall have such other rights in connection with the sale of water including the right to dis­ continue water service for nonpayment of delinquent bills, as its bylaws or regulations shall provide.

Subject to any contract with holders of bonds, the district board may enter into and perform any and all agreements with respect to properties so accepted by it, including agreements for the assumption of principal or interest or both of indebtedness secured by any mortgage or lien existing with respect to such property as part of the water system.

Bonds of the district shall not be issued unless such issue shall have been approved by a three-fourths vote of the entire membership of the district board. Approval of this act pursuant to section 28 hereof shall constitute approval by the constituent municipalities of bonds or notes to be issued by the district under authority of this act. The district board shall determine the amount of each issue of bonds or notes and may determine or may authorize an officer or a committee to determine the form of such bonds or notes, their date, the dates of principal and interest pay­ ments, the manner of issuing such bonds or notes and by whom such bonds or notes shall be signed or countersigned and, except as otherwise provided herein, all other particulars thereof. Such board may determine the rate or rates of interest for each issue of bonds or notes or may provide that the rate or rates of interest shall be determined by an officer or a com­ mittee upon the receipt of bids to purchase such bonds or notes but such rate shall not exceed six per cent per annum. Bonds may be coupon or registered bonds. If coupon bonds, they may be registered as to principal only or as to both principal and interest. Notes which mature not later than one year from their date may be sold at discount and the amount of the discount shall be treated as interest paid in advance. Any premium received for sale of bonds or notes, less the cost of preparing, issuing and marketing them, shall be applied to the payment of the principal of the first bonds or notes of that particular issue to mature, and contributions from other sources for payment of such bonds or notes shall be reduced correspondingly. SEC. 15. Bonds or notes issued under authority of this act shall be sold by the district at public sale upon sealed proposals but at not less than par and accrued interest except 380 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., SP. NO. 293 that any issue of notes issued in anticipation of the sale of bonds may be sold at private sale. Notice of such public sale shall be published at least seven days in advance thereof in a recognized publication carrying municipal bond notices and devoted primarily to financial news or to the subject of state and municipal bonds. The notice of sale shall describe the bonds or notes and shall set forth the terms and conditions of the sale. Such notice may provide that all of the bonds or notes shall bear a single rate of interest or may permit bidders to name not more than three different rates of interest for different maturities, provided no such rate shall be greater than six per cent. Such notice shall provide that, unless all bids are rejected, the bonds or notes shall be awarded to the bidder offering to purchase them at the lowest net cost to the district. Such net cost shall be computed as to each bid by adding the total interest which will be paid under the terms of the bid after deducting from such total interest any premiums offered. If no bids were submitted or if all bids are rejected, the bonds or notes may be reoffered by the district in accordance with the above provisions for public sale or the bonds or notes may be sold by the district at private sale. The proceeds arising from the sale of any bonds or notes issued under the authority of this section shall be delivered to the treasurer of the district and kept by him in accounts separate from other funds of the district. Such proceeds shall be expended only for the purpose and subject to the provisions of this act, provided the proceeds of sale of any serial bonds or notes shall first be applied to the payment of such temporary notes as may have been issued in anticipation of such issue. SEC. 16. Bonds or notes issued under the authority of this act shall be obligatory upon the district, the constituent munic­ ipalities and the inhabitants and property thereof according to the tenor and purport of the same and the full faith and credit of the district and the constituent municipalities shall be pledged to the payment thereof, whether or not such pledge is stated in the bonds or notes or in the vote authorizing their issuance, and thereafter each constituent municipality shall appropriate in each year during which any such bonds or notes are outstanding, and there shall be available, on or before a date fixed by the district board, an amount of money which, to­ gether with other funds available for such purpose, shall be sufficient to pay each such constituent municipality's propor­ tionate share of the principal and interest on such bonds or notes payable in that year, and there shall be included in the tax levy for each such year an amount which, together with 1969] OF CONNECTICUT 381 Sr. No. 293 other funds available for such purpose, shall be sufficient to meet such appropriation. SEC. 17. If any constituent municipality fails to include in its annual budget appropriations for any year the amount which, together with other funds available for such purpose, shall be sufficient to pay its proportionate share of the annual costs of the district, including the payment of principal and interest on bonds or notes of the district payable in such year, then in such case ten or more taxable inhabitants of any con­ stituent municipality, the attorney general, the holder or owner of any bond or note of the district, or the district board may petition the superior court for Hartford county to determine the amount of the deficiency. If the court finds such deficiency to exist, it shall order such municipality, through its proper officials, to provide a sum of money equal to such deficiency, together with a sum of money equal to twenty-five per cent thereof. The amount of the deficiency shall be paid by the mu­ nicipality to the district as soon as it is available; the additional sum of twenty-five per cent shall be kept in a separate account by such municipality and shall be applied toward payment of such municipality's share of the annual budget of the district in the following year. If such order is made prior to the fixing of the annual tax rate of such municipality, such tax rate shall be adjusted to cover the sums included in such order. If such order is made after the fixing of the annual tax rate of such mu­ nicipality, the sums included in such order shall be provided by the municipality from any available cash surplus, from any con­ tingent fund, from borrowing, through a rate bill under the provisions of section 12-123 of the general statutes or from any combination thereof. Any borrowing to meet such deficiency shall be made by the municipality's treasurer, with the ap­ proval of a majority of the selectmen or other governing body, and no other vote of the municipality shall be required there­ for. Such borrowed amount shall be included in the estimated expenses of the municipality in the tax levy for the fiscal year. Petitions brought to the superior court under the provisions of this section shall be privileged in respect to their assignment for hearing. SEC. 18 The provisions of subsection (b) of section 7-374 of the general statutes relating to the limitation of indebtedness shall not apply in the case of any bonds issued or other indebt­ edness incurred under the provisions of this act, provided the district shall not incur any indebtedness through the issuance or assumption of any bonds or notes which will cause the ag­ gregate indebtedness of the district to exceed, exclusive of the fair market value of bonds, notes and other intangible assets 382 SPECIAL ACTS Sr. No. 293 placed in any sinking fund of the district, two and one-quarter times the aggregate of the average tax receipts of the constitu­ ent municipalities for the three most recent fiscal years. Bonds and notes issued pursuant to this act shall not be included in computing the aggregate indebtedness of any constituent mu­ nicipality in respect of any statutory limitation on its indebted­ ness. SEC. 19. Any bonds or notes issued under the authority of this act, if properly executed and signed by officers of the dis­ trict in office on the date of execution, shall be valid and bind­ ing according to their terms, notwithstanding that before the delivery thereof and payment therefor such officers shall have ceased to be officers of the district. SEC. 20. Bonds issued under the authority of this act shall be in serial form maturing in annual instalments and no instal­ ment of any series shall exceed by more than fifty per cent any prior instalment of such series. The first instalment of any such series of bonds shall mature not more than two years and the last instalment not more than thirty years from the date of issue of each series. SEC. 21. Any bonds issued pursuant to this act shall, in any action or proceeding involving their validity, be conclu­ sively deemed to be fully authorized by this act and to have been issued, sold, executed and delivered in conformity here­ with and with all other provisions of statutes applicable thereto and shall be incontestable, unless such action or proceeding is begun within twenty days after the vote of the district board authorizing such issue. SEC. 22. The district board having authorized the acquisi­ tion or construction of all or any part of a water system and having made an appropriation therefor may borrow tempo­ rarily upon the credit of the district such sum or sums as may be necessary for such acquisition or construction and may issue temporary notes in anticipation of the sale of the bonds of the district. Each issue of any such temporary notes shall constitute a separate loan and shall be for a period of not more than two years. Such temporary notes may be re­ newed from time to time by the issue of other temporary notes, provided the period from the date of issue of the orig­ inal notes to the date of maturity of the last renewal notes shall not be more than two years. SEC. 23. Each bond or note issued in accordance with this act shall be exempt, both as to principal and interest, from taxation. 1969] OF CONNECTICUT 383 Sr. No. 293

To assist the purposes of the district, each con­ stituent municipality may, upon such terms as it determines, furnish services or facilities, provide property, lend or con­ tribute funds, and take any other action of a character which it is authorized to perform for other purposes. Each con­ stituent municipality is authorized to make appropriations for the whole or any part of the cost of construction and operation of the water system and pay over the same to the district. To defray such approbations, each such municipality may issue bonds, notes or other certificates of debt from time to time. Such bonds, notes or other certificates of debt shall be gen­ eral obligations of the issuing municipality, secured by the full faith and credit thereof and obligatory upon such munici­ pality and upon its inhabitants. Such bonds, notes or other certificates of debt shall be issued in accordance with all provisions of law pertaining to the issuance of bonds, notes or other certificates of debt by the issuing muncipality, except that such bonds, notes or other certificates of debt shall not be subject to any statutory limitation on the indebtedness of such municipality, and such bonds, notes or other certificates of debt when issued shall not be included in computing the ag­ gregate indebtednes of such municipality in respect to any statutory limitation on said indebtedness. SEC. 27. Any person or municipality aggrieved by any order, authorization or decision of the district board in any matter in which he or it was or ought to have been made a party, may appeal therefrom to the superior court within thirty days from the date when such order, authorization or decision was rendered. SEC. 28.
