assessment in a manner other than as provided under section 7-253. Such ordinance
may allow optional methods of payment of any sewer assessment by an eligible property
owner, subject to approval of the authority, including an option to pay only the annual
interest charge, as provided in said section 7-253, on any deferred payments or outstanding balance of principal, provided in any such optional method of payment, the outstanding balance of principal deferred under such optional method of payment shall become
due upon any transfer of title to the property subject to such assessment or upon the
death of such property owner. Any such optional method of payment shall be subject
to annual review by the authority.
