provement District No. 50 with the Board Members.

of equalization on the assessment.

based on specific volume or strength and subsequent
to the determination of the engineer that a con-
nection involves one or more of the special con-
ditions of Sec. 12-801 (A) an interim charge may
be established by the engineer. Such an interim
charge shall estimate an appropriate special use
charge where possible, but in no event shall be
less than $2.00 per month per connection, or per

whichever results in the greater use charge."
