As soon as the cost of such improvements is determined, the governing body of the sewage district shall determine and assess to each lot or parcel of ground in the sewage district the amount to be paid thereon, which amount shall be determined by the value of the lots and pieces of land without regard to the buildings or improvements thereon, which value shall be ascertained by three disinterested appraisers appointed by the governing body of the sewage district. It shall be the duty of said appraisers, within ten days after being notified of their appointment, to proceed to appraise such lots and pieces of land within the sewage district, after having taken and subscribed an oath to make a true and impartial appraisement, which appraisement shall be returned to the governing body of the sewage district at its first meeting after the same shall have been completed. When such appraisement is returned and filed with the clerk, the governing body shall appoint a time for holding a special session to hear any complaint that may be made as to the valuation of any lot or piece of land appraised as aforesaid, a notice of which special session shall be given by the governing body in the official county paper and by written notice by United States mail to each landowner at least ten days prior to said hearing; and said governing body at said special session may alter the valuation of any lot or piece of land if in their opinion the same has been appraised too high or too low.
The governing body shall immediately thereafter enact and publish a resolution which shall hold good for all the installments, fixing said assessment hereinbefore provided, as to each lot or parcel of ground. The clerk of such sewage district shall mail a written notice to the owner of each lot or parcel of ground, stating the amount levied against the same. The amounts levied against each lot or parcel of ground to pay for the bonds falling due in each year, and the interest due, shall be levied and collected the same as other taxes. No suit to set aside the said assessments or to enjoin the making of the same shall be brought nor any defense to the validity thereof be allowed, after the expiration of thirty days from the adoption of the resolution fixing said assessments and the mailing of the notices to the landowners as in this section provided.

Any and all bonds issued by the sewage district, payable by special assessments, shall be general obligation bonds of the entire sewage district, and whenever such special assessments are insufficient to pay the principal and interest of such bonds, the governing body shall be required to levy such tax against all property in the sewage district as may be necessary to pay the principal and interest of all bonds, attributable to such sewage district or lateral sewer district therein, as they come due, except only revenue bonds issued as hereinafter provided.
Whenever such taxes are levied and collected and applied to the payment of the principal or interest of such bonds, in an amount sufficient to pay the principal and interest which may thereafter fall due on the said bonds, attributable to said sewage district or lateral sewer district therein, no further special assessments shall be levied or collected from the property within such sewage district or lateral sewer district therein for such bonds.

Such sums as may be received by such enlargement and assessment in favor of the original district shall be used to retire bonds issued for the construction of the system in the original sewer district.

The issuance of such revenue bonds for the construction of one or more lateral sewers shall not operate to prevent the sewage district from issuing additional revenue bonds for the construction of other lateral sewers, nor from constructing other lateral sewers by the organization of lateral sewer districts, but the revenues derived from the charges against the users of lateral sewers constructed through each issue of revenue bonds shall be used only to pay the principal and interest charges upon such issue of revenue bonds, and the moneys derived from taxes and special assessments for any lateral sewer district shall be used only to pay the principal and interest charges upon the bonds issued for such lateral sewer district: Provided, That all property in the sewage district shall be liable for taxes and special assessments as herein provided for the construction of main, intercepting and outfall sewers and sewage-disposal plants, and for maintenance of the entire sewage system, in addition to the taxes, special assessments or other charges for lateral sewers, and regardless of whether lateral sewers have been constructed to serve such property.

Such governing body may provide that such charges for the use of such lateral sewers shall be billed and collected at the same time and in the same manner as the bills for water service to the users who have both water and sewer connections, and in such case the governing body may reserve the right to discontinue water service for the nonpayment of sewer charges, provided that the same is plainly stated in the form of contract signed by such sewer users. Whenever the revenues from the charges for the use of any lateral sewers shall be insufficient to pay the interest and principal upon the revenue bonds issued therefor, it shall be the duty of the governing body of the sewage district to increase the charges for the use of such laterals to an amount sufficient to meet such debt requirements, provided that the right to do so is plainly stated in the form of contract signed by such sewer users.
