(a)   (1)   When the charge or a portion of the charge for a water or sanitary
sewer connection is made payable on a deferred or installment basis as
provided by § 6-102 of this article, the installation of the
connection is a benefit to the property, or that part of the property
determined by the WSSC to be served by the connection, and the deferred
portion of the connection charge and any interest shall be paid by an
annual benefit charge in an amount and for a period of years necessary
to amortize the account.

by the WSSC under this section are in addition to any benefit charge
established or levied under any other section of this title.

benefit charge for the deferred portion of a connection charge to
extinguish the account and lien by the payment of the principal and any
interest due to the time of payment.
  (c)   (1)   Property that is under a benefit assessment under this section is
subject to the benefit assessment until the annual or other payments
have amortized the charge, including the interest increment.
    (2)   The lien on the property shall continue until paid and extinguished.
    (3)   If a federal, State, county, or other governmental agency, commission,
board, or municipal corporation acquires for public use property that
is subject to a benefit charge under this section, the benefit charge
shall be paid and extinguished as provided in § 5-109 of this title.
  (d)   A benefit charge established and levied under this section shall be
collected as provided in § 5-108 of this title.
