25215.4.  The board may, by resolution or ordinance, do any of the
following:
   (a) Establish user fees, rates, or other charges, provided that
they are not property-related fees and charges, for the services and
facilities that are not property related that the county service area
provides.
   (b) Provide for the collection and enforcement of those user fees,
rates, and other charges in the same manner that the county collects

following:
   (a) Impose property-related fees and charges for the

or water and sewer services pursuant to the Uniform Standby Charge
Procedures Act (Chapter 12.4 (commencing with Section 54984) of Part

the board may, by resolution, continue to collect the charge in
successive years at the same rate from the parcels within the county
service area to which water or sewers are made available for any
purpose by the county service area, whether the water or sewers are
actually used or not. If new, increased, or extended assessments are
proposed, the board shall comply with the notice, protest, and
hearing procedures in Section 53753.

25215.7.  Whenever a person installs any facilities including, but
not limited to, facilities for sewer or water service, and the board
determines that it is necessary that those facilities be constructed
so that they can be used for the benefit of property within a county
service area other than the property of the person installing the
facilities, and the facilities are dedicated to the public or become
the property of the county or the county service area, the board may
by contract agree to reimburse that person for the cost of the
installation of those facilities. This contract may provide that the
board may collect a reasonable fee or charge from any person using
those facilities for the benefit of property not owned by the person
who installed the facilities.
