Upon petition of the governing body of any city, the board of county commissioners of any county may attach territory lying within and served by the sewer system of the city to an existing county sewer district.

Notice of the hearing shall be given in the manner provided by Kan. Stat. Ann. § 19-27a05. After the hearing, if the board finds that it would be in the best interest of the persons residing within the territories affected by the transfer, the board may adopt a resolution providing for the attachment of the territory to the county sewer district.

After the determination, the board of county commissioners may levy and collect an annual charge against the property benefited, which shall be used only for the purpose of helping to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds issued by the other governmental unit for the purpose of constructing the sewer facilities being utilized.
