Only those landowners who contractually agree for special assessments to finance a water delivery project may be specially assessed. The provisions of § 46A-3E-4 notwithstanding, any person who wishes to join a water delivery project after a petition has been filed with the water development district board of directors pursuant to § 46A-3E-4 may contractually agree to join the project. However, a person contractually joining a water delivery project late may be required to make special payments in addition to special assessments in order to bear the person's fair share of project costs.
