JOHNSON, J.

¶ 1 This case requires us to determine whether, under chapter 57.08 RCW, a local sewer district may impose monthly charges against unimproved lots that are not connected to the system. We conclude on the facts of this case that under RCW 57.08.081(1), the unimproved lots are not properties to which sewer service is available. Accordingly, we hold that the charges at issue are not statutorily authorized and reverse the Court of Appeals.
