PART I. SEWERAGE DISTRICTS
SUBPART A. DISTRICTS OUTSIDE MUNICIPALITIES
§3881. Power to create sewerage districts
A. Except as provided in R.S. 33:3911(B), police juries may create sewerage districts composed of territory outside the corporate limits of municipalities. Any sewerage district so created shall continue to function in its entirety under the authority of the police jury which created it even though all or part of the district may be later incorporated within the limits of a municipality.
B. A sewerage district may levy a service charge in the manner provided by law for the purpose of maintaining and operating the sewer system of the district and for the purpose of paying reasonable rental that may be due for trunk and disposal facilities outside of any such sewerage district into which the sewage of any such district is carried.
C. The boundaries of such sewerage districts may be so arranged that they overlap. When two or more districts overlap, bonds of the districts may be issued only in such amounts that the pro rata indebtedness of the overlapping portion does not exceed ten percent of the assessed valuation of taxable property in the portion.
D. Sewerage districts so created shall be subdivisions of the state within the meaning of the statutes relating to incurring debt and issuing bonds.
