Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes, the ordinance establishing a water pollution control authority created pursuant to § 7-246 and located in a distressed municipality, as defined in subsection (b) of § 32-9p, having a population of not less than one hundred forty thousand, may confer upon such authority the power to recommend to the municipality’s legislative body a levy on taxable real property within the area of such authority for the planning, laying out, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, maintenance, supervision and management of stormwater control systems. In imposing any such levy, such municipality may consider (1) the amount of impervious surfaces generating stormwater runoff, (2) land use types that result in higher concentrations of stormwater pollution, and (3) the property’s grand list valuation.
