Any other special assessment area or any other area of assessment for benefit the boundaries of which are coterminous with or wholly included within the limits of a village, shall be considered as a district subject to the provisions of this section and chapter if same was established not only to pay the original cost of any special improvement or facility, or any addition thereto, benefitting such area but also to pay the cost of the operation, maintenance, repair or replacement thereof.
