Sec. 17. P&SL 1949, c. 211, §10-B, as enacted by P&SL 1985, c. 99, §9, is amended to read:

*Sec. 10-B. Additional method of collecting rate payments. If rates under section 10 are not paid, and the district does not proceed to secure payment by placing a lien on the real estate served by the district, under section 10-A, or does not collect or is in any manner delayed or defeated in collecting the rates under section 10-A, then the district may, in the district's name, maintain an action against the person against whom the rate is assessed or the owner of real estate, as for money paid, laid out and expended, in any court competent to try the same, and in such the suit may recover the amount of the assessment, with interest at an annual rate of 10% on the same from the date of assessment and costs.

SUMMARY

This bill amends the charter of the Waterville Sewerage District. The bill repeals and replaces the first paragraph of section 7 of the charter to correct a conflict that was created by Private and Special Law 1985, chapter 99, section 6 which repealed the changes made by Private and Special Law 1953, chapter 92, section 6 but did not repeal the changes that were made by Private and Special Law 1967, chapter 41.
