At any time after the making of a contract in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, the commissioners may, with the consent of each of the municipalities which have contracted with them, evidenced by resolution of the body or board having charge of its sewer system or authorized to construct sewers therein, enter into a contract with any municipality lying in whole or in part within the drainage area of the Passaic river between the Great falls at the city of Paterson and Newark bay, and including the boroughs of Totowa, West Paterson and North Haledon in Passaic county, for the following purposes: a. The use of said intercepting sewer and its appurtenances and for participation in the benefits and in the cost of the construction, operation and maintenance of the same. b. To permit any municipality already a party to the original contract to allot a portion of its capacity in said sewer to any other municipality within the drainage area for the purpose of providing an outlet for the sewage of such other municipality. The commissioners may, with like consent, enter into a contract with any person owning or occupying lands in said drainage area for the use of said intercepting sewer and appurtenances, and for participation in the benefits and in the cost of construction and maintenance of the same. All of said contracts shall be entered into by the commissioners upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon in any such contract, and any moneys paid in accordance with the terms of such further contract by such municipality or person may be used and applied by the commissioners to the cost of the completion of the intercepting sewer and appurtenances, or to the payment of the cost of the operation and maintenance of the same, or to the reduction of the amount which any contracting municipality may be called upon to pay to the commissioners by virtue of its said contract, as may be agreed upon in any such contract.
