### sec.99 Utility charges A local government may levy utility charges on any basis the local government considers appropriate.

A local government may do 1 or both of the following— levy utility charges for services that have been supplied or are to be supplied during part of the financial year and part of another financial year; levy differing utility charges for services that have been supplied or are to be supplied during various periods in 1 or more financial years, and decide the way the charges are to be apportioned.
