The board of trustees may require by ordinance or resolution that all dwellings or structures within the district, or within a defined area, shall be connected with the sewers of the district. They may also require minimum sanitary facilities, immediately or within a specified period after the completion of sewers to which a connection may reasonably be made, under such regulations as are established by the resolution or ordinance. When the district finds and determines that such action is necessary for the maintenance of public health and sanitary conditions in the district it may cause any such connection to be made, and assess the cost thereof upon the land where the dwelling or structure is situated, or make an agreement with the owner or occupant to accept payment therefor in cash or in installments payable with other sewer rates and charges over such period as may be agreed. The district may impose and collect charges for the availability of sewer service to any properties so directed to be connected, whether or not such connection is made. The board of trustees shall have exclusive jurisdiction to establish by ordinance or resolution standards for construction and inspection of private sewer systems within its boundaries, in conformity with state county laws and regulations.
