(c) To enter upon or do construction in any County public
way (except State highways) for the purpose of installing
or repairing any equipment or doing any other things neces-
sary to establish, operate and maintain the systems described
in Section 1 hereof. In connection with such action the City
need not obtain any permits or pay any charge for these opera-
tions, but it must notify the County of its intent to enter on
the public way and leave the public way in a condition not

property abutting on any public way in which a sanitary sewer
or water main is laid, so that when any water main or sanitary
sewer is declared ready for operation by the City, all abutting
property owners, after reasonable notice, shall connect all fix-
tures with such water or sewer mains. The City, or the appro-
priate official thereof, may require that, if existing fixtures
are unsatisfactory, new ones be installed and may require that
all cesspools, sink drains and privies be abandoned and left in
such a way as not to injure public health. Likewise, all wells
found to be polluted or a menace to health by the City, or an
appropriate official thereof, shall be abandoned and closed;

deems necessary for the proper construction, maintenance and
operation of the City's systems or of those of the United States
Government;
