The Board of Commissioners may establish and collect acreage charges for making connections to the Town water and sewerage systems, both within and outside the corporate limits, to aid in the financing of new water mains and sewer outfalls and the replacement or enlargement of existing mains and outfalls. Such charges shall apply uniformly to all properties to which water or sewer service is extended subsequent to the establishment of such charges; provided, the Board may establish higher acreage charges for property to be developed for commercial, institutional, or industrial use than those established for property to be developed for other uses, may base acreage charges for residential development on the number of dwelling units per acre of land, and may establish higher acreage charges for property located outside the corporate limits than for property within the corporate limits.
