PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY. 4133

1918, ch. 122, sec. 9. 1927, oh. 506, sec. 9.

1023. Said Commission shall provide for each and every property abut-
ting upon a street or right of way in which, under this Act, a water main,
or sanitary sewer is laid, a water service pipe or sewer connection which
shall be extended, as required, from the water main or sewer to the prop-
erty line of the abutting lot, said service pipe or connection to be con-
structed by, and at the sole expense of, said Commission. When any water
main or sewer is declared by said Commission complete and ready for the
delivery of water or the reception of sewage, every abutting property
owner, after due notice, shall make connection of all spigots or hydrants,
toilets and waste drains with said water main or sewer within a time-
prescribed by said Commission. Where the aforesaid fixtures do not exist,
or are of a nature which, in the judgment of the Commission, is improper
or inadequate, satisfactory equipment shall be installed. All cesspools,
sink drains, and privies shall be abandoned and left in such a way that
they cannot again be used nor injuriously affect the public health, said,
disposition to be determined by the Commission; and all wells that are
found by the Commission to be polluted or a menace to health shall like-
wise be abandoned and closed.

Whenever there exists, at any time after construction or acquisition
of any water main or sewer, on any property abutting upon said water
main or sewer a condition, due to the refusal of the owner or occupant
of said property to connect his, her or its property to either a water
main or sewer, that appears to be a menace to the health of the occu-
pants of said property or the occupants of adjoining or nearby prop-
erty, the Commission may require a connection to either the water main
or sewer, or both, if, after ten days' notice and an opportunity to be heard
by either the owner or occupant, said Commission determines such condi-
tion to be a menace to health as aforesaid. In the event said Commission
so determines it shall pass an order requiring said connection or connec-
tions in not less than thirty nor more than ninety days, and a refusal to
comply with said Order or a violation of any of the other provisions of
this section, is hereby declared to be a misdemeanor punishable under
Section 1035 of this subtitle. Either side may have a right of appeal to the
Circuit Court as appeals are now allowed by law from Justices of the
Peace, where the prosecution is before a Justice of the Peace.

1918, ch. 122, sec. 10.

1024. Before any plumbing, water-works or sewer construction is done
in any building, or upon any private property, within the Sanitary Dis-
trict, the person, firm or corporation doing the same shall first obtain a
permit from said Commission and pay therefor such reasonable sum as
the Commission may prescribe. Such work shall be done under and pur-
suant to such rules, regulations and requirements as the Commission may
from time to time formulate, and subject to such inspection as may be
deemed necessary. No connection of any kind shall be made with any
water main or sewer, constructed or maintained by said Commission,
