§ 40-22-03 — Acquiring property for sewers, water mains, and water supply beyond corporate limits

corporate limits.
When it is necessary to conduct the sewage of a municipality beyond the municipal limits or
to acquire a supply of water beyond such limits and to construct mains or aqueducts to conduct
such water to the municipal limits, the governing body, by grant, purchase, or condemnation
proceedings, may acquire private property over which to construct the sewer, or upon and over
which to establish facilities for obtaining and storing such water supply and aqueducts or mains
for conducting the same to the corporate limits. Public property may likewise be acquired for
such purposes by grant or purchase from the government or public corporation owning the
same. The cost of acquiring such property and of building such sewer or other facilities upon or
over the property may be included in the cost of construction or acquisition of a municipal
waterworks or sewerage system and in the special assessments levied therefor, or the entirety
of such a project may be completed as an improvement to an existing waterworks or sewage

system and special assessments may be levied therefor in accordance with the provisions of
this title.
