tion of the existing plans, and such investigations as may be necessary

refuse disposal plants, and their maintenance and operation, as it may

district authority, municipality, corporation, company, institution or

department or person having charge of or owning such system or plant,
to secure such operating results as might be reasonably expected, which

not produced within the time specified, the State Board of Health may
order the proper officer, board, department or person having charge of

274. When the State Board of Health finds, upon investigation,
that any water supply or sewerage system, or refuse disposal works,
is in any way a menace to health or comfort, or is creating a nuisance,
and conditions cannot be sufficiently improved, in the opinion of the
Board, by mere change in the method of operation, the State Board of
Health shall be empowered to issue an order requiring the owner of the
system or plant to make such alterations or extensions to the system
or plant, or to install such new system or plant, as the Board may
determine necessary to correct improper conditions. The State Board
of Health shall name in its order such date for the completion of the
work as it may deem reasonable and proper.
