§ 110-46. Expansion of service district.

If and when the property owners of an area contiguous to the service district petition the county council with an excess of 51 percent of the property owners within the area or property owners in excess of 51 percent of the property within the area, the service district may be expanded to include the new area petitioning for such service. This expansion may be by approval of the council after a public hearing on the petition. The cost of installation of such services prior to maintenance of the expanded area shall be borne on a pro rata basis by the property owners within the expanded area as well as the cost of service for the remainder of the budget year of the principal district. Where the expansion of the service district increases the assessment on any unit, lot or parcel within the original service district by more than ten percent, said increased assessment shall not be effective until each individual owner of any such unit, lot or parcel has been individually notified and a public hearing held thereon. Thereafter, those owners within the expanded area shall pay a pro rata share of the annual maintenance cost along with the owners of the principal service district.
