CHAPTER 222
HOUSE BILL 494

AN ACT AMENDING CHAPTER 224 OF THE PRIVATE LAWS OF 1927 WITH RESPECT TO THE CITY OF WINSTON-SALEM AND COUNTY OF FORSYTH.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  Chapter 224 of the Private Laws of 1927, as amended, is further amended by designating present Section 15 as subsection 15(a), and by adding a subsection 15(b) to read as follows:
"(b)	Deferred payments of feasibility projects treated as assessments. The city/county utility commission, established by the City of Winston-Salem and County of Forsyth, shall have the same authority as is provided herein for the Board of Aldermen of the City of Winston-Salem, and the same authority as is provided by general law for the County of Forsyth, insofar as water and sewer services within the City of Winston-Salem or County of Forsyth are concerned. If the city/county utility commission desires to provide for deferred payments for water service charges (exclusive of water consumption charges) in excess of two hundred dollars ($200.00), they may so declare by resolution. In such cases, the deferred payment shall be treated the same as if it were a part of a confirmed assessment roll (no preliminary assessment roll or public hearing being required), and all provisions herein or in applicable general law relative to confirmed assessments, including without limitations, interest, enforcement, term and lien on property served, shall be applicable."
Sec. 2. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
Sec. 3. This act shall apply to the City of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County only.
Sec. 4. This act shall become effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 18th day of April, 1977.
