§ 58:5-23.
After the actual completion of the plant and the commencement of the actual supply
of water therefrom, the expenses of the commission and its agents and employees shall
be charged to operation and properly proportioned as between the several water supply
projects which may be operated by the commission. After the plant is completed or acquired the cost of operation shall be estimated
yearly in advance and apportioned among the municipalities respectively in proportion
to the amounts of water contracted to be used by each, and each of the municipalities
shall pay said sums to the commission in advance when requested. At the end of each year the commission shall make an apportionment of the actual cost
of the operation of the plant among the contracting municipalities upon the basis
of the actual water consumed by each municipality, but such amount shall be in no
event less than the quantity contracted for. In apportioning said cost, no municipality shall be charged with any item of interest
or rental upon, or cost of operation of, any part of any water plant which is not
used in supplying water to the municipality, but any municipality may contract to
bear the proportionate cost of acquisition and operation of any water plant which
may be devoted in whole or in part to the service of one or more municipalities. Each municipality shall be charged with the amounts so apportioned, and credited
with the amount previously paid on account of the estimated operating expenses for
such year.
