(a) A water or sewer line extension may not be constructed unless the legislative body of each municipality through which the extension passes has approved the extension. This subsection does not apply to an extension that will not create any charges or assessments against the adjacent property.
(b) Except as provided in (e) of this section, when utility service is available to a property owner as a result of a water or sewer line extension, the utility offering the service through the extension shall notify the property owner, according to the procedure set forth for service of process in the Alaska Rules of Civil Procedure, of the charges and interest due the utility if the property owner elects to obtain the utility service through the extension. The property owner does not owe the charge for the extension until the property owner connects to the extension.
(c) Except as provided in (e) of this section, and unless the property owner connects to the extension,
(1) charges do not accrue against the property for construction of the extension;
(2) interest does not accrue against the property for the construction of the extension; and
(3) a lien or encumbrance may not be levied against the property for the construction of the extension.
(d) If the costs of constructing a water or sewer line extension have been paid by charges collected under this chapter, a utility may not charge for connection to the extension an amount greater than the actual cost of the connection.
(e) The provisions of this section do not apply to a water or sewer line extension constructed by a municipality under AS 29.46.
