892. Upon the passage of this Act, the Commission shall notify every
individual, corporation, or municipality operating a sewerage or drainage
system in said County, by mailing them a copy of this Act. And such
parties so notified shall within ninety days file with said Commission, a
plan of the sewerage or drainage system by them operated; a map show-
ing its extent and the limits of the areas covered; the location, size, nature
and grade of the various conduits or pipe systems; the approximate num-
ber of people it serves and the cost of its installation and maintenance,
which date after being revised and verified to as full an extent as possible,
shall be filed as part of the sewerage and drainage records of said County.
After the passage of this Act, every individual, corporation or munici-
pality contemplating the construction and establishment of a sewerage sys-
tem in said County, shall file in duplicate with the Commission a set of
plans and specifications of the same, together with an estimate of the cost
of said system. Said plans and specifications shall be submitted to the
State Board of Health as to character and sanitary efficiency. And if they
so approve, they shall endorse thereon their approval and pass and trans-
mit in duplicate to the said Commission copies thereof, which when
signed by the Secretary of said Commission, shall be the permit under
which the work shall be prosecuted. And if the State Board of Health do
not approve they shall make such recommendation to the Commission as
they see fit, and the Commission shall thereupon order such recommenda-
tions adopted before granting permission for the work to proceed. No
change affecting the capacity or efficiency of the system shall be made
after a permit has been issued, without the approval of the Commission.
The said Commission or its employees and representatives of the State
Board of Health shall have access to such work at all times.

893. The said Commission shall have and are hereby authorized to
establish and collect just and equitable annual maintenance charges or
rents from every individual, corporation or municipality entering his or
its sewer into the County system. They shall be known as a sewerage
maintenance tax and as such shall be kept separate from the tax assessed
for bond issued. All revenues derived from this source shall be deposited
in a separate account in the manner and place as hereinbefore set forth
for sewerage and drainage tax, and shall be used for the purpose of
actually operating and efficiently maintaining the portion of the County
system used by those paying the tax. The sewerage maintenance tax shall
be levied and collected annually, and enforced at the same time and in
the same manner as other County and State taxes.

to sewerage or drainage systems in Montgomery County in force at the
time of its passage.
