Conn. Gen. Stat. § 7-253
In the case of an acquisition, construction or expansion of a sewerage system financed from the general reserves of the municipality or by bonds or notes issued by the municipality, the water pollution control authority may provide for the payment of any assessment in substantially equal annual installments, not exceeding thirty, and may provide for interest charges applicable to such deferred payments. When the acquisition, construction or expansion of the sewerage system is financed by the issuance of bonds or notes by the municipality, the last installment of any assessment shall be due not later than one year prior to the date of the last maturity of such bonds or notes or portion thereof in respect to which the assessment was levied, except that if such bonds or notes are a general obligation of the municipality, the municipality may levy an assessment the last installment of which may be due up to ten years after the date of the last maturity of such bonds or notes provided the total amount of such assessment does not exceed the amount of the principal of such bonds or notes which have been paid prior to the levying of such assessment. Interest charges may not exceed (1) the maximum rate of interest the municipality is obligated to pay on such bonds or notes, or (2) a reasonable rate of interest when the acquisition, construction or expansion of the sewerage system is financed from the general reserves of the municipality. Any person may pay any installment for which he is liable at any time prior to the due date thereof and no interest on any such installment shall be charged beyond the date of such payment. The water pollution control authority shall cause the town clerk of the town in which the property so assessed, in such equal installments, is located, to record on the land records a certificate, signed by the tax collector or treasurer of the municipality, of such facts in form substantially as follows:
