Latest version.
  • Before taking any proceedings for
      the construction of any sewer or of any  system  of  sewers  or  of  any
      addition   thereto   or   alteration   thereof,   such  municipality  or
      municipalities acting severally or jointly shall cause to be made a  map
      and  plan  therefor,  or  an  amendment  of  any map and plan previously
      approved, as the case may be, and shall submit the  same  to  the  state
      commissioner  of health for his approval, and upon his approval the same
      shall be filed in his office.  A copy of such map and  plan  or  of  any
      such amendment thereof shall also be filed in the office of the clerk of
      each   such  municipality.     Any  such  map  and  plan  shall  include
      specifications of dimensions, connections and outlets or sewage disposal
      works and may also include any existing sewer which it  shall  be  found
      feasible and proper to incorporate or include in the proposed system. No
      work  of  any  kind shall be done on or for the construction, extension,
      reconstruction, removal or modification of any system of  sewers  or  of
      any  sewer thereof until a map and plan covering the entire system shall
      first have been duly approved and filed as above provided,  and  in  the
      execution  of  the  construction,  extension, reconstruction, removal or
      modification of any  system  of  sewers  or  of  any  sewer  thereof  no
      deviations  from  the  plans as finally approved and filed shall be made
      until plans or descriptions adequately showing such deviations are first
      approved and filed as above provided. The state commissioner of  health,
      in  approving  said  map  and plan or by a certificate supplementing any
      such approval, may authorize  such  municipality  or  municipalities  to
      temporarily  omit  or  defer the construction of any portion of any such
      sewer or system of sewers. A copy or copies of his approval  or  of  any
      such   supplemental   certificate   shall  be  certified  to  each  such
      municipality and filed in the office of the clerk thereof.
