Subject to section 29 of this act (C. 40:14A-29), any local unit shall have the power to authorize as a general improvement or, in the case of a local unit which is a municipality, as a local improvement the construction and financing of any facilities for the collection, treatment and disposal of sewage arising within a district. Subject to the consent and approval of the sewerage authority, such facilities may be operated by the local unit and the local unit may fix rates and charges for the use thereof, in addition to the payment of special assessments levied by a municipality against lands and real estate specially benefited by such improvements.
